(Leo) Connecting to other Access file

Hi,
I have two or three simple accounting Access files, each for seperate fiscal
year to avoid any difficulty in manipulating large data/file.
the problem is that sometimes when I work in the current year /file, I need
to see previous years' data as well, and I thought that I can do that by
putting an option on my report's dialoge form to get report for all years (
or specific years).
But the question is that how I can connect to other access and read their
tables and queries through my current working area.
please note that all files are protected with password.

from the access menu, go to File / Get External Data / Link Tables.
Navigate to your other access files and select the tables you want - once
you've linked to them you can rename them in the current database to give
them more meaningful names if required.

You'll need to input the password to link to them. Note this means that
anyone with permissions to the CURRENT database will be able to see the ones
you've linked to.

Be aware that if you make any changes to the data in linked tables, you're
actually changing the data in the other database - so be careful.

thanks for replying
but can i link the queries as well, since most of my reports based on
queries.
or can I use a linked table/query to base my report??
