Back End/Front End Puzzle

Hi:

I have an application that has a back end and a front end. I need to add a table which is
identical to one in the back end, and then use it for a temporary holing place form some
records. I have done the following:

.. Copied the table in the back end and given the copy a new name
.. Created a table with the identical name to the back end copy in the front end
.. Used the linkage process to link the table reference in the front end with the new
table in the back end.

Changes to the two table are indepnedent if I am just yusing the "back end", but whe gthey
are executed from the "front end" references to the new table also appear to cause
changes in the original back end table. So for example if I try and empty the temp table,
the original table is also emptied. This is not something that is supposed to happen.

Can someone give me the steps required in a back end/front end situation so that a new
table can be created from an original table, and then linked from the front end to the
back end?

Id appreciate It.

Why is it necessary for the tables to have the same name? It seems like
a dangerous situation that should be avoided if it could at all be helped.

Sorry.. I didnt make myself clear. the sturcture of the tables will eb the same, the namse
clearly will be different. MasterTransacti ons Temp will be one and MasterTransacti ons will
be the other.

Use a temporary MDB instead of the FE as this will lead to bloating.

See the TempTables.MDB page at my website which illustrates how to use a temporary
MDB in your app. http://www.granite.ab.ca/access/temptables.htm

Why not just create your temp table new each time? Others will suggest you keep a
copy of the temp MDB and copy it across as required.

The above temp tables MDB will give you a starting point.

NO -- I DID NOT REALIZE THAT THERE WAS A LINK. HOW DO I REMOVE IT?

THIS IS THE PROBLEM IM CERTAIN!

I always heard people saying IIS ASP front end, and MS-SQL back end. ASP is for server side programming and dynamic content generation, how could it is called front end? Because I thought it is executed in the server, which is back end? I think I am confused with the term front end and back end here. Please advise. Thanks!!

Hi I have a front-end/back-end setup. The front-end utilises all unbound forms populating the back-end via the code I have written. All fine so far. Prior to splitting the database I ran the security wizard and used a shortcut from the desktop. All fine except of course I can open the back-end directly. The security FAQ appears to be out of date insofar as there is no wrkgadm.exe with 2002 and therefore you simply run the security...

All users can open the front end simultaneously, but once somebody updates data in the form, the back end locks up. What I...
