All you need to do here is send them a new mde file.

Of course, you now just learned about splitting here. So, what you do is
create a new mde file, and link it to the OLD mde file.

>From now on, then you can just email them a new mde file with all your code,
form, and report changes. The ONLY part that gets difficult is if you have
to change the structure of the data tables.

So, just make a new mde,but make that mde linked to the "old" mde that they
currently have for the data..
