Front End doesn't load if back end is missing

BTW. I had system tables displayed in my original db. So when I imported all tables originally, the system tables were displayed to be imported.


But if you hide system tables, they aren't displayed when doing import.

The way I understand it, they are imported or they are integrated with existing system tables, regardless of showing or hiding system tables. Having said that, I think, I believe, if you use VBA to hide the system tables, you will not be able to import them. I did some testing before and I think this was one of the results of my testing.

The way I understand it, some features that are imported rely on System Tables. So I would have to assume it is possible the Import Wizard may import information from the System Tables. The exception may be if you hide the System Tables using VBA.

Well, I narrowed it down to 4 tables. I can import everything and import these 4 tables last and the autoexec works with a missing BE.
So I don't know which table is/was the problem. But when they are imported last, the db works.
I just created a new db, imported everything but the 4 tables and it worked. Then imported all 4 remaining tables and it still worked.

thanks for your feedback ItsMe.

I am really glad you were able to narrow it down. I know it is not a fun process.
