I have a db with ~10k contacts in it. I would like to copy the structure of this database, but not it's content, what is the best method?

 

I've tried to backup and restore as, but when trying to delete 50+ contacts Act crashes (memory leak?) so it won't allow me to do 10000! Is there a better way?

Kudos!

File -> Save Copy As...

 

Give the new database a name.

 

Ensure "Create and Empty Copy "is selected. 

 

And away you go!
