Thanks for checking out this Query Def Utility for Access
Databases.  In an attempt to optimize my database searches,
I looked for an easy way to create and edit Query Defs.  I didn't
find any so I wrote this little utility.  In many cases,
pre-compiling a Query Def into an Access MDB file will increase
the speed of database searches.  The BIBLIO.MDB file included
with VB3 PRO uses several Query Defs and with the use of this
program, you can view how they were set up.

Installation
------------------------------------------------------------------
Only the program file and the vbx for the custom control are
included to save space and modem time.  You will need some VB3
PRO files to enable the utility.  Specifically, you need the
CMDIALOG.VBX, THREED.VBX, MSAES110.DLL, MSAJT110.DLL,
VBDB300.DLL, and VBRUN300.DLL in your C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM
subdirectory.  Query Defs can only be used with VB3 PRO.
If you don't have it, it is worthwhile.  To complete the
installation, create a directory if you wish, and place in it
the QueryDef.EXE file.  Place the SSFORMFX.VBX in your
C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM subdirectory.  You can then create an icon
in your VB Applications group and your off and running.

Use
------------------------------------------------------------------
This utility makes it painless to add, edit, view and delete
compliled Query Defs within Access MDB files.  Click Open Database
and select an MDB file and click OK.  If any Query Defs have been
compiled into the MDB, you'll see a list of their names.  To see
the accompanying SQL statement, double-click on the Query Def in
the list.  Thats all there is to it.  In your application code,
access the query def by setting the recordsource property of a
data control to the query def title, and the database name to
the MDB file.  (Data1.RecordSource="Query Def Title")
or Set DS=DB.CreateDynaset("Query Def Title")
or Set SS=DB.CreateShapShot("Query Def Title") once you have
defined the DB.
