Can't find my Front End Folder after database split

J

Joe

I just split my database base to allow for ease of use for multiple users.
Ererything, it seemed, went smoothly until i try to find the fron-end folder.
It is nowhere to be found. Should it be label ****_fe.mbd like the back end?

Please help.

Thaanks.

It will be called that, unless you typed something else in the save as
dialog. I thought it ended up in the same folder as the backend after
splitting.
Easiest way is to go back to the original and split it again, this time take
note of where you save it before you press the button.

Click to expand...

No; it will have the same filename as your original unsplit database, with no
suffix. That is, if you split MyData.mdb you will get a new MyData.mdb (with
all the tables linked instead of local), along with MyData_be.mdb.

Try opening the database and look at the Tables window in the database screen.
Each tablename should have a little arrow icon next to it indicating that it
is a linked table. The size of the file should also be considerably smaller
than the size of the backup that you made before splitting (ummm... you DID
make a backup... right??)

Thanks John, I should have checked it before sending.
