MS Access 2003 - Help understanding the structure of mdb, mde and be.....
- by Justin
Hi. I was just wanting some explanation as to what is going on once you have split your tables out into a back end file, and set an mde out for use.
When a user accesses the mde, is the mdb still required to get to the tabes (or in order to make it work)? Let say I put these access apps on a shared drive for folks to use. If I split the be end on to the shared drive, and placed the mde on the shared drive, would I the mdb have to exist for that version mde to work (communicate with the tables)? Or does the mde sort of speak to the mdb which speaks to the tables?
Hope this question makes sense.
Thanks
