Copying a split database

[PeterJC]

I have a split database (Access 2007) with the back end on a server and
copies of the front end on various local hard drives. I want to make some
functional changes on the front end, and to test those changes with various
data entries etc.

I’ve copied and renamed the front and back ends of this application and have
linked the front end copy to the back end copy, but I find that when I make
data entries to the copied databases, the changes find their way into the
original back end file. It appears that the tables in the copied back ends
are referenced in some way to the original back end, since a table ‘tabnm’ in
the original will be present in the opened copied front end together with
another table called ‘tabnm1’, and only the latter table will be linked to
the copied back end.

What do I do about this? I wondered if I should delink the copied front e nd
from the original back end, but I don’t k now how t o do this.

Suggestions would be very welcome, thanks.
