MS access is database application software that lets you create database of various sorts with ease. If your database contains lots of records, it is important that you compact and repair it from time to time. Doing so refreshes your database. Sometimes it happens that you delete certain records but they are still present in the database. Through the use of compact and repair, such records will be eliminated and the excess space taken up by the file will be reduced.

If you have many users of a database, try converting it to spilt database structure. Your database will be divided into two main parts; first is the front end file containing all the objects (queries, macros, forms, reports and modules). The second part is the backend file that is linked to all the frontend files. Backend can be stored in location which can be shared with many users. The front end is distributed to each user’s desktop and linked to the shared database. This reduces network traffic as the file does not have to be retrieved every time. Database manager and database splitter helps in the process of creating such architecture.
Splitting your database has several advantages; if you are sharing it over LAN or with a large group of people, a back end version is made so that all the updates can be viewed by everyone using the file.
In this Access tutorial, we will teach you how to create a split database in Access.
