If you click on the small black arrow on the far right of the OPEN button, you have a "Link file" choice. Choosing this option adds the module to your project but keeps it in its existing location. Any projects that link to it will instantly inherit the changes but will need to be rebuilt so the executable picks up the changes.

This includes things like a status form with specific controls and code to display status updates from operations, and base classes for making another class serializable. Stuff like that. I need to know what the process is for making such objects accessible to other projects such that as I add capabilities and fix bugs, such enhancements are available to all the other projects that use these things. IOW, something similar to an MDA in Access. I know that it is possible, I just do not understand the mechanics of referencing the common objects. Could someone give me a detailed "step by step" of how to do it, what to click, select this menu item, click this etc. from inside of the referencing project. Or alternately a web article that discusses this stuff. TIA, John W.
