about design master and replication of table?!!

[jims]

regarding to my program posted on 17 July

I am trying to edit a table and add new fields to it in my
access database but I can't change it because it prompt me
that it 's a linked table?

Some told me that I should use the design master and do
not use the replication of the database but I don't
understand. Since my concept is just that the database is
the table.mdb file and all I need is to link my access
program to the table, I want to know what I should to in
order to be able to add new field??????!!!!

Hi Jims

You can't change the structure of linked tables. You need to make the
changes in the "back end" database - the one that actually contains the
data.

Then when you re-open the front end the changes will be visible in the
linked tables.
