How do I unlink tables?
I'm not the original requester for help, but I too need to unlink a table. The table was originally formed in FoxPro which I don't have on my new computer and so I'm using the table in Access. I now need to add some new fields, but can't because it appears to be linked to the original FoxPro table which I cannot open!

How do I unlink tables?
Hi Maggie,
First, delete the linked table (this deletes the link, but not the Foxpro data file, but make sure you have a backup of it anyway). Then import the data from the Foxpro table. This brings the actual data into the Access file, which is then independent of the Foxpro file.
