"Property value is too large. (Error 3309)"

[Michelle W.]

I have split an Access 2002 db into front-end and back-
end dbs using the Database Splitter. When I try to make
a table design change in "Table A" in the back-end db
(eg, add new field), I receive the message: "Property
value is too large. (Error 3309)"

However, if I go into the version of the db before it was
split (ie, data tables are not linked), I am able to make
table design changes in "Table A" without any errors or
problems.

Does anyone know why this is happening?

Thanks.
