Howto: Export all Forms into text file[s]

[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.
