Where is the linked table manager in Acccess 2007?

I use this to test my databases on a copy of the backend, then use the
linked table manager to change them back to the real back end. All I can
find is how to link a new unlinked table.

It's on the Database Tools tab of the ribbon.

In the Database Tools chunk (right side.)

Thanks, I tried searching in Help, and it didn't help! I think the people
who set up the help system have brains wired differently from mine - I
seldom find what I am looking for, but there are hundreds of items I didn't
need to know about!

Okay. MS has released a couple of ways to find where things are in the
ribbon.

Here's an interactive one:

Here's an Excel spreadsheet listing:

And here's some other general info on A2007:

That's broader than what you asked for, but hope it helps for other areas.

My problem is with 'Help' in general. I type in "Linked Table Manager" and
not one of the results showed how to get to it. There were sample databases
to download, how to initially link to another database, or to Excel, SQL
Server, Sharepoint or text files, how to create a table or query, etc, etc.
To my way of thinking "Linked Table Manager" (using Microsoft Access
terminology) and how to get to it and use it should be the first one at the
top of the list, since that is what I asked for.
