[AccessD] Add-In Express 2009 for MS Office and .NET

William and Max --

What "Eat Bloat' actually does? (sorry I didn't use it)

- Creates new mdb...
- and exports all MS Access objects (tables, queries, forms, reports,
macros, modules) into this new mdb?

What about relationships?
What about import/export specs?
What about ADPs?

<<<
I'm looking for the next step up allowing creating a new mdb from multiple 
preset configs...
>>>
MS Access Applications Manager did something like that - in fact it was able
to create one solid FE together with BE or one shell FE with as many as one
wanted to have library FEs (with forms and reports in that libraries) and
one/several BEs with linked tables etc. - all built "automagically"
including SageKey InstallShield script with ready to use setup kit in the
end - something like that AFAIKR...

<<<
...I may 
invest in A2010 if the early reviews hold up but A2K7 is no-no for me 
...still A2k3 bound :)
>>>
As I noted Add-In Express does allow to develop version independent Add-ins
including their setup - there will be no need to keep several code
versions/branches/setups - there should just be custom description of what
custom add-in features are used for what target MS Access version...

<<<
...I'm more than willing to give it a try but as you know I'm no code guru 
>>>
OK

<<<
...but the economy here ensures that I'll have some time available for the 
next few months anyway and I have Visual Studio Pro 8 to work with
>>>
Do you mean current global recession which may force you to stay idle for
the next few months?

Thank you.

...I think Max has already passed Eat Bloat off to AccessD ...iirc JC was 
going to put it into a class structure as time allowed ...bloat is certainly

a continuing problem at least through A2K3 ...Eat Bloat used to do wonders 
for me in fixing transient problems as well as bloat but the latest version 
just errors out for me ...been waiting for JC to get a revised version out 
...your App Mgr certainly sounds like a most worthwhile replacement.

...as to properties I'm referring to those we set when we start a new mdb 
design ...jc has an addin C2DbProperties that does a number of them but I'm 
looking for the next step up allowing creating a new mdb from multiple 
preset configs ...I use different settings for an mdb in design than I do 
one ready to be compiled into an mde.

...I hope you can work something out with the vendor but from his site it 
doesn't look like he'd be partial to the idea ...that doesn't mean you 
couldn't share the workload of course, just not sure the codeplex license 
would work in this case.

...I'm more than willing to give it a try but as you know I'm no code guru 
...but the economy here ensures that I'll have some time available for the 
next few months anyway and I have Visual Studio Pro 8 to work with ...I may 
invest in A2010 if the early reviews hold up but A2K7 is no-no for me 
...still A2k3 bound :)
