I currently have a database which is linked to the back end database. Is it possible to create a copy of the front end database but with the tables unlinked and blank? (Without it affecting the back-end database)
 

Excel Facts

Create a Pivot Table on a Map
If your data has zip codes, postal codes, or city names, select the data and use Insert, 3D Map. (Found to right of chart icons).
If you make a different back-end with blank tables, you could link the new front-end database to that.

Here are the steps for that.
1. Create a new back-end database. You could just copy the existing one, and delete all the data from all the tables.
2. Make a copy of the front-end database.
3. Go into the new front-end database, go to the Linked Table Manager, and re-point all your data tables to the new blank copy back-end database.
