在多个Access 2013项目之间共享VB代码

Question

I am working on several different access projects that share a lot of code. Right now what I do is importing modules, which is fine as long as I'm the only one working on it, but for the future I need a better solution (also better than password protection).

What would be the best way to share code? I have Visual Studio 2013 for that purpose. I have tried creating a dll and com objects, but I couldn't add the files as a reference to Access, I think maybe it's because it was .NET, I'm not really sure.

As you can see I am not familiar with this subject, and so any hints/links/buzz words would bee highly appreciated.

Thanks, Yotam

Answer 1

One way to share code among VBA projects is to store the common code in a separate .accdb file (say, "CommonCode.accdb") and then add a Reference to that file in the various VBA projects that will use those common procedures and functions.

To add such a reference you need to click the "Browse..." button in the References dialog and then choose "Microsoft Access Databases (*.accdb)" from the "Files of Type" drop-down:

Answer 2

I believe that the best way to share a VBA code is not to let it readable, but compiled.

You can do this by creating an Access Runtime , .accdr.

version control with ms-access: check here and there
