Are set references part of the front-end database file, or specfic to an
instance of Access? In other words, if I set all needed references while the
front-end file is loaded, then post the file on the network for other users
to copy to their local machines, is that all I need to do, or do I need to
set the References at each local machine?

Thank you.

The refernces are specific to the mdb/mde file.

However, when you copy that database file to another computer, you will have
a broken reference unless that computer has *exactly* the same version of
the library (DLL, OCX, ActiveX control or whatever it is.)

For this reason, it is a good idea to use as few libraries as possible. For
a list of the most basic ones for each version of Access, see:
