If it is a split database, you will need to make a copy of the backend
(which contains all the data). You can create a new, empty database
and use File... Get External Data... Import to import the tables;
choose the "Design Only" option to import just the structure of the
tables, not the data.

Then use Tools... Database Utilities... Linked Table Manager in a copy
of the frontend to relink the tables to the new backend.
