------------------------------Installation----------------------------- 
You may either run Access Export directly or as a library 
(although it is not very useful run directly).

Export.mda must be installed in the directory that Access starts from (usually
C:\ACCESS).

To run as a library MSACCESS.INI must be modified as follows:
	In the [Libraries] section add the line:
		export.mda=

	In the [Menu Add-ins] section add the line:
		Access Export==StartExport()

------------------------------Operation-----------------------------    
Start Access and open an existing database.

"Access Export" will know appear at the bottom of the "Help" menu.

Select "Run" on the splash screen, and wait for it to setup.

Select the objects you wish to export by: selecting the type of object(s),
clicking in the radio button next to the name(s) to tag, and pressing 
export.

If you check the "Export table structure only" radio button all of the 
currently selected tables will be exported structure only.

Access Export will export multiple object types simultaniously (for example:
you may select tables, forms at the same time).

Note the "Updated Since" field which limits which objects are displayed, this
date defaults to the last date and time that an object was exported.

"Show All" resets "Updated Since" to 1/1/100 to show all objects.
"Select All" only selects objects with an update >= the date specified.
"UnSelect All" unselects ALL objects regardless of date.

Note:
Due to limitations of Access basic, Access Export cannot export modules to 
mdb's that already contain modules of that name.  This still must be done manually.
Also it cannot delete module.  Hopefully this will be resolved in the near future.


------------------------------Future Development-----------------------------   
Numerous possibilities, send suggestions.
