as a "library" of the other one. This will allow you do invoke functions
in the 2nd DB (the "library") from the 1st db. You can use these functions
to open forms, etc. I haven't ever done much with this, other than build
some simple function libraries. You will probably have to have both FEDB's
linked to the tables in the BE.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=218250200-02072003><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>Note
that you cannot, unfortunately, create a circular reference to permit the 2nd db
to invoke functions in the 1st. I had done this only in A2K, so just
to be sure, I built a Q&D test set in A97 and it seems to
work.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I have a "vanilla" Access 97 application that
is used at multiple sites. If a particular site want a modification
--- e.g., a customized version that I do NOT want to incorporate into the
vanilla version, is there a way that I can create a separate front end (to
hold these custom objects) yet still have one user interface? I don't
want them to have to open two separate applications.</FONT></DIV>
