Linking

Linking

Unlike importing, linking objects from another database will create a link to an object in another database while not copying the table to the current database. Create a link by following these steps:

1. Open the destination database.

2. Select File|Get External|Link Tables... from the menu bar.

3. Choose the database that the table is located in and click the Link button.

4. A window listing the tables in the database will then appear. Highlight the table or tables that should be linked and click OK. A link to the table will appear in the Database Window as a small table icon preceded by a small right arrow.
