Howto: Export all Forms into text file[s]

P

Paul Guides

Hi!

Is it possible to export one or all forms of an
Access MDB into one or more text files?

The result should be something like the contents
of a Visual Basic .FRM file; a combination of
form controls descriptions and VB source code.
But this is no requirement, any textual format
would suffice, even XML would do.

Are there any third-party tools for this task?

TIA
Paul

There certainly is. The code is on my website:

This code does everything but the tables, so all you need to do is comment
out what you don'y use.
