FE database not showing new table added to BE database

Hello All,

I've checked around a little on Google (and this group) and have found
info similar to what I'm trying to do (i.e., changes that were made in
the BE's tables are not reflected in the FE database) and have heard
suggestions using code, etcetera. But I need a bit more clarification
please.

What I'm doing/have done is this (MS Access 2007, FE stored on WXP
clients, BE stored on a W2K3 server):

My database has been split. A copy of the FE is on each user PC, the
BE is stored in shared folder on the server.

I've had to (don't ask why please, its one of those things where
people don't spend enough time on their biz requirements up front and
instead rush to start using a database) add a new table to the
system.

I added it in the BE file, but when I run the FE, it's not showing up
(the other tables from the BE are showing as linked tables with the
arrows).

I've used the Linked Table Manager in the FE (which isn't available in
the BE), but only see the original set of tables from my BE, no
mention of the new table that I had to add to the BE.

Which brings me to my question, the new table is there in the BE, but
its now showing up in the FE's, how can this be accomplished? Is the
only way to do this via coding?

Rgds,
Amit

Open the FE. Click on Get External Data. Navigate to your BE and select the
missing table. Click Link. You should now see the missing table in your FE.

In the past I'd select File/GetExternalData/Line (or Import) from the
menubar. The linked table manager is useful to change the connection
string on files that have already been linked...say you have a test
backend and a production back end...you could change the tables you are
using in your application with the LinkedTableMana ger.

Hi, I was curious, I am thinking of writing an application that loads a dataset from a database that resides on a server. The question I have is this, if multiple copies of the app will be running at once will there be problems with data updates? The reason I ask is I'm thinking like this: User1 launches the app and the dataset is created from the data in the DB.
