Hi All, First I know this is the wrong section but the
right one is unavailable. Here's my question:

I want to copy the tables I use for combo boxes to the
users front end every time they open it yet still be able
to update the backend copy when an item is added. What I
am going to try is, place some code in the On Load event
of the startup form that first deletes the tables then run
a number of Make Table queries to get the tables loaded in
the front end. I will also code the Not In List event of
the combo boxes to update the frint and backend tables as
usual. I will experiment to see if there is too much of a
delay on startup but want to know if there is a better
proven way to do this. Thanks for any help.
 
Alan,

Kind of an overkill, IMHO. Just leave them in the back end. Having
observed the basics of split database performance, your combos' response
time won't be impaired.

HTH,
Nikos
