She should then select the tables she wants to link, click the OK button, and Access will take it from there. It will only show the tables that actually reside in the database she's linking to - if the ACCDE has linked tables to a back-end somewhere, those tables won't appear.

She'll then be shown a Link Tables dialog where she can select the tables to be linked. She should also choose the option, 'Link to the data source by creating a linked table'. She should enter or browse to & select the ACCDE that she's interested in. She'll tehn be shown a dialog prompting her to specify the source of the data. She should then go to the 'External Data' tab on the ribbon, and from the 'Import & Link' tab group she should click 'Access'. Access will create the database and open it, and will probably open an intial sample table, 'Table1'. She'd have to provide a name and folder path for that database, and then click the 'Create' button. She would then tell it to create a new, blank database (not a web database). To do that, she would open her copy of Access without selecting an existing database. If she has only 64-bit Access and the ACCDE was built with 32-bit Access, then she won't be able to open and run the ACCDE as an *application* - she won't be able to run the forms and reports, and won't be able to execute any code it contains.Īll I'm talking about is a way to get to the tables (if any) and queries in the ACCDE. The ACCDE may or may not contain the actual data tables - often, it contains only links to the tables in another database (generally referred to as the 'back-end', whereas the ACCDE is the 'front-end'). Usually an ACCDE is created to protect the design of forms, reports, and VBA codein a database application. First, let me make clear what I'm saying.
