Hi Anthony,
I tried to make some additions to the backend tables and they
do not show up on the front end file.
By additions, do you mean that you added one or more new tables? If so,
open the front-end database. Then use File > Get External Data | Linked
tables... Navigate to your back-end database, select it, and press the Link
button. Select the new table(s) in question. Press the OK button.
On the other hand, if you meant that you added new fields to an existing
linked table, then they should normally show up. However, it is always a good
idea to delete linked tables in the FE database, compact the DB, and then
re-establish the linked table using the method in the above paragraph. This
should be done whenever you make any design (not data) changes to a table in
the BE database. Design changes include adding/removing fields,
setting/changing/removing indexes, including any changes to the primary key.
The reason that this is important is that Access can cache a lot of
information about the table structure in the FE database, and this
information can become out-of-date.
Does this help?
