I keep three .fdb files (bob1.fdb, bob2.fdb and bob3.fdb) plus off site files as well as a GEDCOM just to be sure I don't lose my current and original data. Currently, I use Access only for informational purposes in a couple of tables in Access - mostly to check out Source numbers and/or Detail Number I assigned and then save tdata as an Excel file where I am able to print some reports, etc.
However, if I change anything in a column while in MS Access and want it to appear in my basic Legacy file, how do I do that? For example, if I change a 'bob1.fdb' file to 'bob1.mdb' file, open it and change an item, how do I get this 'bob1.mdb' back to a useable 'bob1.fdb'? I think I tried it once and all I got were errors, so thankfully, I was able to resurrect my 'bob2.fdb' file and continue. Information appreciated on how to use this feature to where one could mass correct erroneous data brought to Legacy from GEDCOM or other sources.
