Create Addin that carries on working when currentdb is made into mde

[Satal Keto]

Hello, I am trying to make an Add in for MS Access, which deals with making a database system ready to be sent to a customer (which involves making the database into a mde and creating the installation files).
I have got all the major parts of the add in created but the only problem I have is that when the database is made into an mde (using TSI SOON) it closes the database to be made into an mde but also the add in, which I need to carry on working, to make the installation files.

I was wondering whether anyone knows of any way that it would be possible to have the add in carry on working when the currentdb is closed (but access stays open).

Thanks for any help in advance

An add-in by its sheer nature is going to be available when the database that is using it is open but will close when the database that is using it closes. So, you will probably need to rethink how you are doing this.
