simple linking question I hope

[wing8lc]

situation: A guy has 2 databases. I split db1 per request. After I split it successfully and linked the back end to all 4 computers, THEN he tells me he has a querry in db2 that no linger works. The querry in db2 used data in db1. How do I link it or fix it. I tried linking db2 to the back end of db1 (not really having a clue) and it didn't work. thanks

How was db2 set up to use tables in db1? Was it linked?

I don't know- I'm not a geek with access. I only read up on how to split the database so he could share between computers. Next thing I know he tells me about another database that has a query that won't work now. That's where I became clueless and figured they're linked somehow and maybe it's an easy fix to re-link or something. Beats me.

Have you tried reimporting the tables into db1 to see if the problem goes away?

[wing8lc]

do you mean click on external data (in db1) and import the backend table that I had split and placed on the network? Like unsplit it? What happens when I do that? Does that make the database is no longer split and puts everything back like it was before i split it? And if I do this, and the broken query is still broke, does that mean the splot wasn't the problem? And what if I find out that the query works when I import the table--- then how can I split it to keep the query from being interfered with. Remember- the query is in db2- not even a part of db1. Thanks in advance for your help on this
