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?
