    How to Create local copy of linked Table


    Hi, i have a linked table called estimates in my front end database, i want to make a local copy of it.

    DoCmd.TransferDatabase acExport, "Microsoft Access", CurrentDb.Name, acTable, "Estimates", "Estimates_Copy", StructureOnly:=False

    The following Code makes a copy called Estimates-copy but the table is still a linked one not a local. Can someone help, thanks.

    Should that be acImport?

    If this is a one time deal, I use
    From the menu(ribbon), click on External Data, Access. Then follow the prompts to select the BE, then select the table, select IMPORT, select the table, Options - Definition and data..


    You can save the steps.... but it seems to be a manual operation to reuse the saved import.

    do the ssanfu steps; however each table will then get appended a 1 because you already have a linked table of the same name.....one presumes this is manageable.....

Please reply to this thread with any new information or opinions.
