Add-ins are additional programs, designed to run seamlessly within Access. Some add-ins are installed when you run the Access Setup program, while others can be purchased from third-party vendors. One of these add-ins is the Switchboard add-in, used to create and manage database switchboards. Another add-in, the Linked Table Manager, helps users work with linked tables in their database. To work with add-ins, Access provides the Add-In Manager, a utility to install and remove your add-in files.
