Manually splitting the database
I followed the instructions he
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=304932....almost. Instead of linking the tables first, I imported the queries, forms, etc first. Would this cause all my queries to break? Because that's what has happened. It's a simple matter to just do it over in the correct sequence, which I will try tonight. But in the meantime, I'm just wondering if the sequence of link tables/import queries makes a difference. |

Yes. There are cases where importing queries to non-existent tables yields
unusable results. Delete the queries, make sure Name AutoCorrect is off, compact, import the tables, and then import the queries again. -- Allen Browne - Microsoft MVP. Perth, Western Australia.

Would this cause all my queries to break? Because that's what has happened. What you need to end up with is one file with a bunch of tables in it; and another file with a load of reports and forms etc, and linked tabledefs pointing at the bunch of tables in the other file. It doesn't matter what order you go about it: you can rip the UI features out of the tables mdb, or you can rip the tables out of the UI. Have you forgotten to Get External Data Link Tables in your new UI file? As long as the links have the same name as the original tables did, then the queries and forms etc will just use those links without noticing any difference. Hope that helps Tim F |

Manually splitting the database
I linked the tables. The queries seem to be oblivious to that. In query
design view there are no relationships between the tables and all of the field names in the query have been converted to expressions.

Thanks. I'll try that before running the whole process again and will report
back. "Allen Browne" wrote: Yes. There are cases where importing queries to non-existent tables yields unusable results.

Manually splitting the database
Deleting the queries and then re-importing them did the trick.

In query design view there are no relationships between the tables and all of the field names in the query have been converted to expressions. Can you post the "before" and "after" SQL of the queries? It sounds very strange to me. What happens when you open the back end database (the one with the actual tables still in it)? Are the relationships still visible there in the Relationships window? As long as they are there, then it doesn't matter whether the front end sees them or not: the engine will still refuse to make any updates that break the RI constraints. Best wishes Tim F |
