Can anybody let me know if the linked table will need the
same space of the orignal table? Is there any advangages
or disadvantages for using linked table?

Thanks,Jenny

Click to expand...

When you link to a table in another file the "front end" only grows by as much as
required to create the link. The data is stored in the other file so the space used
by the data will be in that file and not the one with the link.

The main advantage to a split application where you keep the tables in a separate
file is that you can replace the front end file with a new version without disturbing
the data.
