    Sharing Objects with a secondary database.

    So I have been looking around and i really do not think this is possible but I thought I would ask the community just to see if it is possible.

    Imagine you have a split database with two users making reports on their own front end. Lets say user 1 wants to share a report they built with user 2. is it possible to send this Object through vba so that user 2 would received a working editable copy that they can use on their front end without sharing the actual accdb front ends?

    I thought about creating a Database that would just host the reports but again if I cannot send or access secondary database objects then this method would not work.

    What is your thoughts on the concept and do you think it is possible.

    Don't keep many bookmarks. It's really a fresh search every time. And some I visit often enough they never seem to leave my recents list.
