>> Hi Max,
>>
>> <1. EatBloat
>> <a. Allows individual selection of objects to export and import.
>> <b. Sits inside another mdb as a self-contained form
>> <c. Did not handle <Relationships, References or linked tables.
>> <d. All of the above may have changed in Dan's re-write to EatBloat2.>
>>
>> For my rewriting of your form, a and b are still true.  It also will
>> export
>> all objects of one type, or all objects.
>>
>> For c, it does not handle relationships (I think code to determine, 
>> store,
>> and replace relationships may be interesting).  It does allow linked
>> tables,
>> but only as an option that is turned off by default.
>>
>> My primary purpose in rewriting this was to change the export structure 
>> so
>> that all of the objects that were exported at one time were exported to
>> the
>> same folder, rather than a different folder for each type of object. 
>> This
>> took a lot of file/folder manipulation, but it's worth it.  Now when I'm
>> importing I can just 'select all' in the navigation window, push the
>> Proceed
>> button, and it all gets imported at once.  Tables are imported first, 
>> then
>> queries, then the remaining objects.
>>
>> In addition, you said once that you like to use this as a backup
>> mechanism.
>> To do this the export folder is now date and time stamped.  You can reset
>> the date and time stamp to current time by pushing one button, or you can
>> turn on auto update of date and time so that each export is automatically
>> sent to a different export folder.
>>
>> I also wanted to use the list boxes for a visual selection of objects to
>> export.
>>
>> Please take a look and let me know what your thoughts are!
