    How to link two databases


    Good Morning
    I have a question that involves using access 2003. I have created a database with just tables in it, so that I can work, fix, create more tables if someone is working with the other database that I want to create. The other database will have the queries, forms and reports. I do not know how to link the two databases. Thanks for your help

    Right click on "Tables" under "Objects" and select "Link Tables".
    Browse to your database, double-click it, then select all the Tables from that database that you would link to this one.

    As per my knowledge, we can only link to tables in another Access database. You cannot link to queries, forms, reports, macros, or modules. For this use following steps:
    1. Prepare to link tables in an Access database
    2. Identify the tables to which you want to link.
