Default How do I break a link to an external database but keep table data?

I am trying to break the link to an external database while keeping all the
data in the tables housed locally. It is possible I will loose access to the
external database due to updates that will be made. In order for me to work
efficiently, I will need to house all the data locally and manually update
all the information. (Currentlt the external database is updated
automatically and instantly.) Any ideas, hints, advice? I am using Microsoft
Access 2000. I have been looking online and trying to break links but nothing
seems to work. The database we use now (locally) is so big it would take a
long time to recreate everything, we have data from 2004 housed in this and
the amount of time put into create the existing links would be insane to
redo. I would just like to break the link and manually update all information
that is housed on the external database.

Thanks for any help!
