Lost All Tables Except One

[xyba]

Hi

I have a database that had seven tables which I split. However, I added another table then selected to split the database again to move the new table to the back end but all tables have gone missing from the there except for the new one. The original seven do still show in the nav pane of the front end though.

Have I overwritten the original back end or is it retrievable?

How should a new table be appended to the back end?

Once split,you dont split again.
Add new tables with the import/link external table.

You may have overwrote the BE tables,but it would have asked you.

sorry all 7 are lost. you should have added it to the BE and just create a link at the FE.

Okay, I thought that might be the case. I've had to ask my IT Dept to restore the last backups before I corrupted it so hopefully I can get them back.

Thanks both for your help.

It's a hard lesson to learn but backups are your savior. Hope your IT people can recover the BE for you.
