ADP is not supported in the current release. 

I am sure that it could be, but I may be looking for a volunteer to put it in 
for me, as I would be reluctant myself.

Reasoning:
- I don't use ADPs, and probably never will.
- ADPs have been deprecated from Access 2013, so there is only limited support 
across Access versions.

As a further update on this:

The addin normally does not appear in an ADP. Once I had enabled this, I 
realised that ADP have no reference to CurrentDB(). The design of the addin at 
the moment makes extensive use of CurrentDB and even stores some state and 
preference information in system tables. ADPs have no data as such so nothing 
can be stored there.

Unfortunately this feature will have to be declined.

The workaround would be to use an MDB with linked tables, which are supported.
