[AccessD] External MDBs

Thanks Marty,
What I had in mind was a central MDB which (depending upon options set)
would allow users access to other MDBs from a central menu.  Once the option
was enabled and the user clicked on the menu item, the called MDB would then
open in exactly the same way as if it had been opened from Windows.  Once
the called MDB was exited, then the central MDB would re-open back at the
menu.

I have set References, but it only appears to give me access to the code
within the called MDB and not the full functionality.

I will have a look at MDA Addins.

Thanks

Regards
Max

You could install mdb as an mda addin, this may involve monkeying
with USysRegInfo table. Reports, forms and modules should work.
Dunno about queries, lots of info on this on MS site where they
describe how to write your own wizard. They opened up the code
for some Access 97 wizards which maybe still downloadable.

You could also add a reference to the mdb, but not sure what that would 
buy you.
