Splitting applications in access (two applications sharing one DB) how to link applications?

Hi:

I have an application that is getting pretty bloated, and I want to develop new,
infrequently used, sections of it ( specifically special report generation) as a separate
file from the basic application. I have already split the application and data base, and
want to build the new application so that it uses the original data base, and is called by
the main application, BUT does not share any of the application code. In this way, the
report generator is shielded from the complexity of the main application.

I know how to deal with the file sharing and all that,and have already set up the two
applications to share one data base. My question is how, and what commands do I use, to
set it up so that the applications can call each other. The main application needs to be
able to start the reports application, and let the reports application assume control
until it is closed, at which point control should revert to the main application. I do
not appear to be able to find the commands that will make this happen. I hope there is a
simple answer to this rather long winded question!

Advice and assistance appreciated.

Hi all. I've been getting my head around user-level security, and pretty much have the hang of how to give defined access to different users.

I intend to have a local mdw file on the local install directory, and use the command line parameters of the shortcut to point the database file to this file, when starting up. I...

Hi, I have a database that I created in Access 97 and then converted to 2000. Its running along but after looking here I believe more by good luck than good management. I do not know any code and have created it by looking at how Northwind works. My problem is that I've been asked to set it up for more users (4 or 5). I gather I need to split it into front end/back end and put the data (back

Hi All, I wuld like to know if there is any possibility of sharing a common class between different applications. i.e. if the two applications are running, they can share the class, and changes made to class from one application should be visible in the other application. Thanks in advance

Is there any way to share an object or variable between applications other than through .NET remoting? Also, if this is the only way, what kind of overhead is there for storage (memory) and speed vs local objects and variables? In my case the remote and the client are on the same machine. I would just be using remoting to share the variable between two instances of the same application - ie. two different processes or possibly...

Dear All, Is there a way in which 2 application can share a common memory location to access static data? Say for example I have a product master data that is available in a single place, and I have an application that uses this data to do its own operation. I also have a similar kind of another application that uses the same data for its another operation. Can we implement this in C#?

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...

These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers.
