    <p>Depending on what the code is for, there are (at least) two different ways to do this, without working at the VB Extensions level (which is where you'd copy and paste code, at least in VBA):</p> <ol> <li><p>Make the code part of an add-in. It can then be loaded, and stay loaded and exposed, to any other application.</p></li> <li><p>If the code is working on data only, consider writing a procedure that links and unlinks the table(s) in each mdb file that needs processing.</p></li> </ol> <p>The advantage of #2 over #1 (and, indeed, over copying and pasting code) is that you can invoke your simple routine once, not hundreds of times.</p> <hr> <p>EDIT:</p> <p>There are two ways to invoke an add-in, depending on who is meant to invoke its functionality, and how.</p> <ol> <li>Through the UI. Use this when you want an end user to be able to use it, especially practical for functionality you'll invoke often. How to: a. Office button > Access options > Add-ins tab b. If it's a .NET add-in (or any other non-Access add-in), choose COM Add-in from Manage dropdown. If it's Access, choose Access. Click go c. Click Add button in the form that pops up, browse to the add-in.</li> </ol> <p>You will still need to provide some sort of UI to it: a commandbar, a ribbon button, a form, something. That's a separate discussion</p> <ol> <li>Through code. Use this if you're just wanting to invoke it as part of some other VBA procedure. a. VBE window > Tools > References b. Browse button c. Change the dropdown in file of type if you're setting up an Access add-in.</li> </ol> <p>You can then call the line of code directly, as if it were part of your current project. If you wish to be more explicit, you can also invoke it by library name: MyAddInName.ChangeLink</p>

    1. COthanks. 2 unfortunately won't be an option. I'd like to do 1 though. Please see my edits.

    2. COHmm, does just look like a data operation, but I understand there might be other constraints at work. On the other hand, I'm not sure I understand why you'd want to migrate such simple code to a VB add-in (you could just save that module's mdb as an mda instead)... What version of Access are you running? That will affect the instructions for how to load and invoke the add-in (possibly). EDIT: sorry, I see it's 2007. One sec, I'll type it up.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.

SQuiL has stopped working due to an internal error.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
