Hi, and thanks for looking at my question,

I have 2 databases, I'll call them the Original and the Second. The
Second database has a few linked tables from the Original database.
For some reason, when I update information in the Original table , it
doesn't update the info. in the linked Second table.

I know that you're able to copy tables, and that wasn't done here. I
created linked tables by going to File/Get External Data/Link Tables.
Also, I've verified the links are correct in the "Linked Table
Manager."

Does anyone know why my linked tables aren't getting updated?

Thanks so much.

If you mean you have the link open as a data*** and then make a change in
the other file then you will not see that change unless you close the
data*** for the link and reopen it. If you mean you don't see the change
even after doing that then the link is not pointing at the table you think
it is.
