Converting linked tables to native?

Make a copy of your existing frontend. Delete the linked tables in your copy
(don't worry: this just deletes the pointer to the data, not the data
itself) Select File | Get External Data | Import from the menu bar, navigate
to your backend database and import each of the tables into your copy.
You're done.

Hello,

How does one convert an Access 97 db with linked tables
into a stand alone DB with all the current data?

I would like to archive a db and not have the data updated
by production changes.

Thanks in advance for any assistance provided.
Steve
