mde and mdb files

[dbertanjoli]

Hello,
Once I split up database into mde and mdb files is there a way to put them back togethere ? How can I turned linked table into table?

I would greatly appreciate your reply.

Delete the links and "import" the tables [do not use the Link Tables option]. But I do not think that you can do that with the mde version, only the mdb version.

Debbie,

Split databases (front-end/back-end) are just a means of separating the
data tables (back-end) and forms/reports (front-end). You can undo this
by simply importing the back-end tables into the front-end.

An MDE file is a non-alterable Access database. It is basically a
MDB-based application that is converted so that it can be distributed.
The MDE file does not allow ANYONE to modify code/forms etc. You can
not convert a MDE file back to its MDB representation.
