Input parameter: the name(s) of the forms with external embedded views.
The code inspects the DXL of the form and fetches all the replicaids of the external embedded views. It then tries to open these databases and add them to the workspace with the server the user is currently on. As far as I've tested, it seems to work as described. Let me know if there are bugs.

Hi Tommy,
I've experienced similar issues and developed something similar.
Don't know if you're aware of this but DB PostOpen doesn't trigger if a user follows a document link. So to be doubly sure you need to run this in the forms QueryOpen.
