References (?) in backend database

I've been splitting my front and backend databases for a while now, and only
recently noticed that the BE databases have a bunch of references checked
when I open the VB Editor. Is there a minimal set of references that are
necessary in the backend, or do these just "bloat" the size of the mdb?

I've got references to DAO, ADO, VBA, Access 11 Obj lib, and OLE
Automation. Is any of this really needed in the BE?

If there is no code in the back end database, you don't need any references
beyond the 2 required ones (Access and VBA), so you can remove the others.

The references do not really bloat the database, none of those references
are likely to break the database when you install it onto another machine or
switch versions.

While it is not crucial in the case you describe, it is good practice to use
only the references you need. More info:
