Backup your database then do the following

Create another database and "import" your audit table into it, save it. Go back to your origional db and delete the audit table then you create a link to the audit table in the new database. give it the same name as the origional table and everything should be working great.

thanks for the quick reply, ive manged to import the audit table to a new database but when i tried to delete the table in the original database it won't let me because my audit table has a relationship with one of the other tables (main table) in the original database. i can delete the audit table once the relationship is also deleted, but will i be able to re link the relationship with the audit table in the new database and the the main table in the original database?

In short... Yes you can

But you will need to create the linked table first

hey
ive just tried it out and deleted the relationship and created a new relationship with the linked audit table and it worked fine. can i just ask, how often will i need to refresh the link to keep the audit table up to date or is that done automatically. thankyou so so much again.

Everything is automatic. The link that you just created is ecactly how a split database works, except in a split database all of the tables would be links

Glad I could help
