Setting Default Reference Files

When I create a new database I have to go into the MS VB Code section and under Tools/References... manually add the references I need. Is there some default setting that I can set to eliminate this annoying process?

The references I want set are...
1. Visual Basic For Applications
2. Microsoft Access 9.0 Object Library
3. Microsoft DAO 3.6 Object Library
4. Microsoft ActiveX Data Objects 2.1 Library
5. OLE Automation
6. Microsoft Visual basic for Applications Extensibility 5.3

I have all the reference files I need but would just like to know if there is an easy way to set these references to a default???
 
I don't know of any way to do this, but are you sure you'd want to? Does every database you create need every one of these? If not, you're creating dependencies that could get in the way later, and if you distribute your database, every user will have to have every one of these typelibs.

You should only have to set these references once, when you create your database (or first recognize the need for a library). It doesn't seem worth it to me to carry all that excess baggage, just to avoid one setup step. Rick Sprague
