a question about updating a split db

[Muzicmn]

first let me start off by thanking all of you, the knowledge i have gained from this forum is invaluable.......

now on to the next question...

i have a db that works great, but whne i try to update the fe, tables, it says i cant update because the table is linked.....

is there a way around this???

do i have to unsplit my table??? and if so how can i go about doing that

thanks and i appologize for the simple questions, but it is the only way i will learn this stuff

You should be able to replace the orginal FE file with the updated FE file as long as the original FE file in not already opened. A simple file copy and replace will do it.

but, but, but......

when i try to edit the fe it states that i cant because the be is linked....is there a way to open the front end without the be???

 

[Pat Hartman]

Since the tables are physically located in the be, you need to open that db to edit them.

duhhhhh,

dont i feel stupid, the only thing i didnt try was opening the be file......

guess youll never learn unless ya ask

thanks for the help
