Hi again Brendan,
I've never tried to use it outside of Access, I daresay you are right.
I use it to do exactly what the original poster wanted, i.e. to create VB
"launcher" programs which set up an Access front end environment (copy in
the latest front end, set up various other files and so on) and then launch
the Access app. Unfortunately for him, I do it with VB6, not dotnet, which
is why I didn't just post my code!
