I have a table that I have moved from Works. It is linked
to another table so I can't modify it. Any Help would be
wonderful. Riley Walker
 
I'm not the original requester for help, but I too need to unlink a table. The table was originally formed in FoxPro which I don't have on my new computer and so I'm using the table in Access. I now need to add some new fields, but can't because it appears to be linked to the original FoxPro table which I cannot open!
Help please
Maggie
 
Hi Maggie,

First, delete the linked table (this deletes the link, but not the
Foxpro data file, but make sure you have a backup of it anyway). Then
import the data from the Foxpro table. This brings the actual data into
the Access file, which is then independent of the Foxpro file.
 
Thanks John, I'll give it a go.
