Table not Showing up in Front End

[Thorson]

I have my database split. I put a new table in the Back End; however, it is
not showing up in the Front End of the database. Do I need to do something
specific to refresh the front end and make the table show up so I can build a
form from it?

Thanks,

Tables added to the back-end aren't automatically added to the front-end.
You'll need to link the new table.

Thorson,

You will need to link to that table in the back-end via the front end.
(Note, that placing a table in the back-end does not automatically place it
in the front end.) You didn't specify what version of Access so these
instructions are for Access 2003 or below...

1. File - Get External Data - Link Tables
2. Navigate to your back-end and select the table.
3. All done...

Thanks! I'm using 2007 but the directions are mostly the same.
