Split DB w/ Switchboard Items table

[sarahb845]

Finally, after two weeks of being scared of doing so, I split my database!!!

I have read quite a bit about splitting in this forum, and one thing that I have read several times is to keep the [Switchboard Items] table in the front-end. When I split the db with the Database Splitter, it put this table in the back-end. My new front-end seems to work just fine as is.

My question is: If I leave the [Switchboard Items] table in the backend, will this cause problems later? If not, why have so many people advised to put this table in the front-end?

I just want to make sure that I'm not going to run into trouble later....

Thanks!

I am using A97 also. Should I move the table to the fe???

Yep, that's it! [Switchboard Items] table is needed in the front-end in order to make changes to the Switchboard Manager.

Thanks Pat!

Yeah, it makes sense, as you explained it.

Not sure why MS does it that way, b/c it does get confusing when all of the tables except the [Switchboard Items] table are in the be. It makes the Database Splitter wizard not fully functional when you have that table. Guess it's just one more reason not to use the Switchboard.
