    Missing Function?

    Hi anyone I'm new to tek-tips, & have a puzzler. With code in a source db in Access 2002 I want to open a target db's Access Modules collection, iterate each module by name, and use the Lines property of the Modules collection to copy the module's code to a table in the source db.
