Using Functions from other Databases

I have the situation where I have a lot of large databases that use a
lot of the same functions. These prove very difficult to maintain and
so I was wondering if anyone knew if it is possible to use external
database functions. I know this is possible in the VBA code using
references and whilst this is good what I would really like to be able
to do is use external functions in queries as well. The only way I
have found of doing this is to create a local module with the list of
functions that then point to another database but this is not ideal. I
would be grateful for any ideas!

We use a number of similar databases and frequently create a new database using a backup restore of another similar database. We try to keep changes between databases in _Additional tables - like Account Additional, Sale_Additional so most tables stay the same.

Does anyone know how to use VBA to relink tables between two MS Access databases? We have two databases, one with VBA code and the other with data tables. The tables are referenced by linked tables in the database where the code resides. If we move the database with the data tables to a new directory, the links are no longer valid. I tried to update the links by changing the Connect property and refreshing: Set td = db.TableDefs(0)...

Hello there, I have a front end database that I have recently made very many changes to to allow off-line use. I keep copies of the databases on my hard drive and link to them rather than the live databases on the network. Is there a way, via code, when I get back in-house from being on the road to click a button, and select the backends I want to link to? I would want to delete all the current links and link to the "live"

I want to use the printer select menu's and the open file menu's from within my Access 2002 databases. When I do it uses a file called COMDLG32.OCX In many of our locations they don't have the same version that I have and the db fails to run. I've taken those things out of my db's and removed the common dlg check from my references and everything is running fine. I've also sent my copy of comdlg32 to the user having a problem and that runs...

I want my software to be independant of operation system and databases. That's why I want to use odbc, and don't want to use MFC. Here I have some questions to ask: 1. On unix (like sun solaris), does there exists any kind of midware like odbc? 2. I search on the internet, and find most of the examples are based on PHP. Is there any c++ examples? 3.Once I chose odbc, does that mean that whatever kind of database I

I searched around a little bit, but didn't come up with the answer to this question, but somewhere in the back of my mind, I think this can be done... Let's say we have two different company functions: Sales and Operations The Operations database is considered the "main" one...we are using this daily and it works very well.

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. 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,...

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. 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.

Hello I'm a network technician in training and I need your help. I am currently learning how to create and manage the different types of VPNs and I have a question about LAN-to-LAN VPNs.
