I hope this doesn't sound too strange.
I've created a number of interrelated Forms, Queries, Macros, and Reports that are more or less tied to one customer. Since I'm not the only one in our office who works on this account, I'd like to be able to share these tools with the other two people in the office that also work with this customer. This way, I won't be the only one able to perform the functions that this group of Forms, Queries, etc. do.
I've used the "right-click => Add to Group" feature in Access 2003 to create a group that contains all of the needed functions. So far, so good.
This is where I bog down. I'd like to export all of these goodies so that the coworkers in question can add them to their DB, and I'd like to do it all at once instead of individually (there are quite a few items). The thing is that, if I "right-click" on the group folder, I don't seem to have the option to export anything. I have to select one of the items in the group to get the "export" option. Also, all of the items in the "group" folder look like shortcuts, not actual Forms, Queries, etc.
I'm clearly missing something here -- I just don't know what.
Any enlightenment will, as always, be appreciated.

) -- it's a prepackaged order/inventory management, so to use an increasing overused phrase, it is what it is. All of the common data -- Customer Info, Order Details, Inventory, etc. -- resides on our server. All of the, uh, tools, for lack of a better word, reside on our individual workstations. I'm sure there's a reason is was constructed this way -- I just don't know what it is.
