I would like to create a program in Excel that loops through a list of Access databases and writes the VBA that exists in the Access modules. I have found some code that I can run from Access which writes the VBA that exists in the Access modules. I am trying to figure out how to reference the database files from Excel and run the program on each database file. I will probably be able to figure out how to loop through the database files. I just need help with referencing the database file in the below code.
I can open the database with something like this:
Dim cstrDbFile As String = "C:\Database51.accdb"
Dim objShell As Object
Set objShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
objShell.Run cstrDbFile
I also tried to set up a reference to Access like this:
Dim appAccess As Object
Set appAccess = CreateObject("Access.Application")
appAccess.OpenCurrentDatabase ("C:\Database51.accdb")
I need to figure out how to refer to the Access database in:
Application.VBE.ActiveVBProject.VBComponents
I probably need to figure out how to create a reference to replace ActiveVBProject.
Below is some code I found which writes the contents of VBA modules. I don't remember where I found it.
For Each Component In Application.VBE.ActiveVBProject.VBComponents
With Component.CodeModule
'The Declarations
For Index = 1 To .CountOfDeclarationLines
Debug.Print .Lines(Index, 1)
Next Index
'The Procedures
For Index = .CountOfDeclarationLines + 1 To .CountOfLines
Debug.Print .Lines(Index, 1)
Next Index
End With
Next Component
The following code will let you see Access database objects, but I don't know how to export the code (DoCmd not in Excel?). Your task would be VERY simple to do from Access, so I would reconsider...
Option Explicit
' Add a reference to the DAO Object Library
Sub Read_Access_VBA()
Dim dbs As DAO.Database
Dim ctr As DAO.Container
Dim doc As DAO.Document
Dim iC As Integer
Dim iD As Integer
Dim i As Integer
Dim mdl As Module
Set dbs = DBEngine.OpenDatabase("c:\TEMP\106thRoster.mdb", False, False, _
"MS Access;")
Debug.Print "----------------------------------------"
For iC = 0 To dbs.Containers.Count - 1
Debug.Print "Container: " & dbs.Containers(iC).Name
If dbs.Containers(iC).Documents.Count > 0 Then
For iD = 0 To dbs.Containers(iC).Documents.Count - 1
Debug.Print vbTab & "Doc: " & dbs.Containers(iC).Documents(iD).Name
Next iD
Else
Debug.Print " No Documents..."
End If
Next iC
'Set ctr = dbs.Containers!Modules
dbs.Close
Set doc = Nothing
Set ctr = Nothing
Set dbs = Nothing
End Sub
I was able to find some code that will assist me with my final goal: Exporting MS Access Forms and Class / Modules Recursively to text files?
Below are the most significant lines that will allow me to make progress with the project.
LineCount = oApp.Forms(Name).Module.CountOfLines
FileName = Path & "\" & Name & ".vba"
F = FreeFile
Open FileName For Output Access Write As #F
Print #F, oApp.Forms(Name).Module.Lines(1, LineCount)
Close #F
