When I try to split my access '97 mdb I get an error message "subscript out of range" (I do not know what a subscript is; I am new to Access). <br><br>The splitter created the new database anyway,it has all the tables in it excepting the ones that I have linked to another access '97 mdb (there are 5 linked tables); ALL of the tables are still in the MDB I was splitting FROM however.<br><br>Thinking that the "linked" tables in my original MDB were the culprits (since they did not show up in the new backend mdb), I removed them from the original database and ran the splitter again; I still get the same subscript error message. Can anyone point me in the right direction to resolve this ?<br>thanks<br>Paul
