Linking Database

What is the benefit of linking database rather than importing?

RE: Linking Database

Hi Nancy

If you import a data table into your database there are a few drawbacks:

1: Data duplication. There is an extra set of records taking up disk space

2: If any changes are made on the tables they cannot be seen by the other party

So in linking tables space is saved and most importantly any changes in the table are automatically seen by those linked to the table

Hope this helps

Carlos

Access tip:

Splittng a database

Split your database into two (at least).

Keep all of your code, forms, reports, etc. in one 'code' database and all of your tables in another 'data' database which is then linked to the 'code' database.

This makes modifications, updates and back-ups that much easier and allows you to work on a new version of your 'code' database without affecting existing users. It also makes it easier should you wish to convert a single user databases into a multi-user networked version.
