MS Access 2010 + Splitting Database
I would like to use the splitting database feature and put the back end database on a shared drive, then have the users utilize the front end part of the database, how do i setup the front end so it knows where to find the backend database?
from the FE, ribbon
external data > Import > access > select link
browse for the back end
external data > Import > access > select link
browse for the back end

i guess that is where i am stuck - where in the FE db do i enter the full UNC path of the BE db?
also do the table refresh automatically of does the user have to refresh the tables?

Once you click Open on the Wizard ... the list of tables in the BE will appear. Select the tables you want to link and click OK.
