Splitting db and creating MDE file...

Hello,

I was wondering if you had to finish setting up the db, with all the
code and everything before you can split it and create an MDE file?

Any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks, Robin

I usually split it in the begining. Make the backend with the tables
and call it databasename_be, then create the frontend (named
databasename), link the tables and go from there.

Either way works. A few things will work on local tables but won't
work on linked tables so you're likely better off using split from the
very beginning.
