Solved Do queries belong in the back-end or front-end of a database? (1 Viewer)

[Sampoline]

So I have a query that is running a delete blank records on form_open. Should that query be on the front or back end file?

Also while I'm here, same question for Modules.. do those go back or front end? Thanks.

The only thing that belongs in the backend, usually, are the tables/data.

Everything else belong in the front end.

Yep, I thought so! Just double-guessed myself there. Makes sense why. Thankyou.

You're welcome. I said "usually," because that's what I would expect for Access backends. But if the backend is something like SQL Server, then obviously the BE can have more than just tables in it.

Oh right, I think I had read this somewhere too and that's why I confused myself here. But yes, this is just Access I'm working on, so tables/data it is! Thanks.
