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! |

There is no way to be more 'efficiently' than an automatic and instantl update. Why do you think you can do it better? -- Build a little, test a little.
