The extension .MDA is just a convention and really doesn't enforce anything. The library can have an MDB, MDE or even XYZ and still be referenced and used. I know because I just renamed one of my libraries to have an extension .XYZ and referenced it. While I haven't done so I know that developers sometimes change the .MDB to .MyExt in order to obfuscate the fact that it an mdb file and try and keep people from opening it directly in Access. Access can in fact still open the file but you can no longer just double click it. John W.
