Unsplit? a database 1

I have a split database and need to make major revisions to many of the forms and reports. So that users in the office can continue working, I want to make copies of the current frontend and backend and locate them on my hard drive. This will allow me to work with the data in the tables and add dummy records to test my forms etc. Eventually, I'll replace the original frontend with my new version.

How do I do this correctly? If I copy the front end as is, it will still be linked to the original backend. How do I 'unlink' the copy of the frontend and 'relink' it to the copy of the backend?

 
You can use Tools->Utilities->Linked Table Manager. Tick the 'Always prompt for a new location' check box.
