I have a co-worker using a database with the exact same data structure as
me. Basically, I created a copy, cleared out my data, and sent it to them.
They use it with their own data now.

Here is my question. I have a contact in my database that I want my
co-worker to have. Is there a way for me to send them a single record, or
do they have to enter them in manually? Thanks!

You could export the record as a text, csv, or Excel spreadsheet and the
other user could then import it.
 
Will that work for a relational database? Their are about 5 or 6 subtables
linked to the main one.
 
Well, the original question was
Is there a way for me to send them a single record

If you have to include child tables, you will have to export the record or
records from each table separately; otherwise, the receiver would not know
where to put what. Then, you have the issue of primary keys, but since I
don't know your data, I can't advise on that.
 
Not to mention that depending on the relationships that have been setup, the
individual records may have to be imported in a specific order - case in
point you couldn't import guest names on a reservation if the reservation
hasn't been imported first.
