Hi all!
So I have taken over a database from someone who makes things a bit more complex than they need to be and I have tried to copy the database with the format and data but when I edit the data in the new database it also changes it in the original. I have tried several different ways but no luck. Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance!

I would guess that the database is split into a backend and frontend and you are copying only the frontend.
If that's the case, you'll need to make a copy of the backend as well to use as a development copy. Then re-link your frontend copy to it as a development frontend.
