Hi,
After realizing that we can't always imagine all eventualities (and certainly cannot predict management direction) I've produced an application that enables you to:
[ul]
[li]Maintain a list of all applications that you wish to be searched for 'key' VBA words / terms.[/li]
[li]Search for a key word / term within all of those external application:[/li]
[ul]
[li] Modules[/li]
[li] Form modules[/li]
[li] Report modules[/li]
[/ul]
[li] All resultant 'object containers' (regardless of naming convention) will be prefixed with ',Module_, Form_, Report_' to indicate their type.[/li]
[li] On double-clicking the object container name - that object will be opened in design mode.[/li]
[li] You'll need to Edit - Find the term in that objects' module.[/li]
[li] I will be (at some point) adding functionality to automatically 'search and replace'[/li]
[/ul]
The 'app' is really one, single form, stored as text in SNIPT, which when first run - creates 2 tables in order to function.
If you're interested, then you can upload it here and use LoadFromText to import this single form into a new MS Access app.
Full import / install instructions are on SNIPT.
It's not 'bullet-proof' designed, although common error trapping has been used.
Let me know your thoughts; it's certainly pulled me out of the chit when the pressure has been on, to remedy a commonly used piece of code that needed to be amended in lot's of places.
Darrylle ;-)
Never argue with an idiot, he'll bring you down to his level - then beat you with experience.
