[AccessD] Referential Integrity

It can't be done directly.  Referential integrity can only be enforced
within the database that houses the tables, not between databases.  The
best you could do would be to write code and use queries for this
purpose, but it won't be foolproof.

Is it difficult to enforce referential integrity across 2 (or more)
backend MDBs?  I want to take some tables that are common to 2 systems
out of one back end MDB and put them in a separate backend MDB, but
still enforce RI across both back-ends.
