BlankI can see two projects in my application's Project Explorer window.
How can I delete the dependent one?
Background:
I have two databases, HR.mdb and EL.mdb. HR is the main application and in
it I set a reference to the EL application. EL provides error logging
services to HR.mdb. Both were created in Access 2000 format. Both compile
and run fine.
Now I come to create mde versions of my application, which requires me to
convert to 2002 format. There is also a requirement to convert all
dependencies to mde format first (bottom up). So I converted the EL.mdb,
naming it EL2002.mdb and then converted that to EL2002.mde. Then I
converted HR.mdb to HR2002.mdb...no problem.
When I tried to convert that to HR2002.mde, I got the "Unable to make mde"
message with no clue as to why! And I used to hate NT's Blue Screen of
Death! "Must be a conversion error", says I. "Probably a violation of the
preconditions for making an mde listed in the help file" I muse stroking my
beard....
"Ah Ha!" Says I. "In HR2002.mdb, I need to change my reference from EL.mbd
to EL2002.mde!"
Well, when I tried to do that, I got a failure message due to duplicate
names/objects??!! Humm...Went to the references list to remove the
reference to old EL.mdb, but I discovered it is not referenced! There is
no reference for me to uncheck! But, But!!?? There it is in my Project
Explorer window! How is it getting there??!! And how do I get rid of it?
So now I'm thinking I need to get rid of the EL Project in the Explorer
window so that I can make the new reference to EL2002.mde. However, I can't
find the delete function on any menu.
So, how do I do that?
Thanks for reading all of this and hopefully giving me a clue
