linked tables

L

Lauren B.

I am new to database design and I have picked up in the middle of a project.
I am trying to make some changes to the overall database and have found that
some tables are linked. Because of this, I'm unable to make any changes to
certain properties. Is there a way to make changes in these linked tables?
If so, how?

Thank you for your help!

Linked tables physically reside in another file. You have to open *that*
file to make changes to them and then refresh the link in your current file
so it will "see" the changes.
