    Hi.

    Can someone explain to me what are "weak references"?
    I've seen people talking about it but didn't find any explanation about that.

    Thanks.

    I don't know the term in question, but to my mind it could be one of two things:

    A weak referential link in a database (eg a 0..n link rather than a 1..n link - the link doesn't have to exist)

    or

    A reference to a DLL that is created at run time (ie: the project is compiled without having a refernce to the DLL, and the DLL is loaded at reuntim using the CreateObject or LoadLibraru command. Similar in approach to the plugin concept)

    Hope that helps a bit
