I am an new user to VB coming from Access and I want to combine what used to be three individual access databases into an entire "application" in VB using the menu editor to access the various individual vb projects I create. For example - if my application was based an a business which had both local and international clients I would have one project for accessing all the local clients info/reports/financials/etc and another project for accessing the international clients nfo/reports/financials/etc another section in the menu editor would be forms to maintain the control files that are accessed by both the local and international clients. Question is how am I best to acheive this? Is this a matter a creating one standard exe with the menu which calls all the other standard exe's - if so how do I call another exe? Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

The easiest way is the Shell function. If you want more control check out the ShellExecute and ShellExecuteEx API's.
Although with VB you could access all three databases from your central program. You may have to recreate some of the interfaces but you would have a central point of code.
I hope this helps, Good Luck
