Splitting DB vs. linking

C

CaptainWillard

Is there any difference between splitting the .mdb vs. linking a table
in another .mdb file ? For example, if I use the database splitter
tool I end up with Widgets.mdb and Widgets_be.mdb. All the tables are
located in Widgets_be.mdb. However, let us say that I create a file
called Widgets2.mdb, move all the tables from Widgets.mdb into it, and
then link the tables from Widgets.mdb to Widgets2.mdb. Is there any
difference in how Access treats the files? Thanks for your help.

It's the same thing, except the Wizard does it for you.
