I think you need to reread this sentence:

"Yes, but only the first instance will get access to the database if
you both applications to access the same database."

What you want to do is have two applications have a delegator to a single embedded connection to the database. An
ActiveX server would be a perfect solution... and you can expose your own api to your applications.
