[AccessD] Call a function in an AccDb from outside it?

[Stuart McLachlan]

About the only way I can think of would be to iterate through msysObjects, that will at least 
give you the names of all the forms,reports and modules.

A lot depends on what you mean by "process its forms".
"Processing" them would be a very different matter since they are actually different objects 
embedded in the accdb  not a part of the data engine - you can't access them through 
DAO's OpenDatabase.

An Access .accdb is essentially two sepearate pieces:
1. A  relational database management system (tables and queries)
2. An application consisting of various types of objects (windows forms, reports, controls, 
and compiled code) which connect to the RDBMS.
