Hi all

Currently we have an access 2000 backend database with front ends on access
2003 and 2007.
I am looking at creating a database which references some of the tables in
the original backend.
Rather than risk disturbing this database I was considering creating another
backend database with the original tables linked to the new backend.
Then the front ends would link to the new back end and by association, the
linked tables in the old back end.
Will this work or is it just plain nuts/bad practice?

TIA

You mean you want to link to a database that has no tables in it, only links
to tables? I don't know if that would even work... and even if it did, why
would you even want to do something like that? Is this a security by
obscurity thing? Those are seldom a good idea.
