Not interesting, Shamil, FASCINATING! Yes, I do hope you continue this thread. Please! I've often thought of this kind of thing but have never had time to really pursue it.

Charlotte, Your <VBG> means you're interested in continuation of this subject/thread or...? In my plans is to extend and make all the source code available. How soon it will happen this is an open question - I have an urgent project here. But I do plan to continue this thread and work if this looks interesting for you and others here. Maybe even make it open source project here when first useful results will be achieved? It would be interesting I guess to make it also XP(eXtreme Programming) style work with your being subject area expert - I mean your best knowing in what scenarios and in what business areas is the best to use MS Access in bound but disconnected mode with most of the software (MS Access FE databases) developed by power users but integrated by "mighty MS Access developers"? :) I know how to do all that, I know how to make MS Access applications assembly factories etc. - I have all that experience and I can share it if/when I will have spare time - is that interesting?
