How to link to the backend - 2007

S

SpookiePower

I just tried access 2007 for the first time, and is run
into a problem. My database is divided into a backend and frontend,
but are not linked together yet. To create a link to the tables
in 2003 was easy, but I simply can not find the feature
in 2007.

I have started both my front and backend, and expect that it
is under the tab Database Tools - Linked table manager, I
need to go. But this feature is gray, so I can not start it.

Do I look in the wrong place?

Check if your frontend is an MDB or ACCDB. The compiled versions don't
have access to the Linked Table Manager.

Linked table manager is probably grayed out because you don't have any
linked tables yet.
