Reading Microsoft Access Macros via VBA code

Paul M

Hello,
is there any way of reading Microsoft Access Macros via VBA code? Or
better still through VB .net code?

By reading I mean being able to read what the actions are plus any
parameters & comments.

I dont want to execute any of the steps just read them.

Dont want to convert them to VBA functions either, I would like to read
them direct.

Hope someone can help...

Thanks
Paul M

Hi Paul

I don't think VBA allows you to do this directly, but there is an indirect
method.

You can loop through CurrentProject. AllMacros to get the name of each macro,
and export the contents to a text file with:
SaveAsText acMacro, "Macro1", "C:\Macro1. txt"

That allows you to Open and read through the text file. It's messy, but
feasible, and certainly works if you are trying to find if a particular
action is present.

There's also a way to convert macros to code. I don't know that this
would be a profitable path to follow, but you might look into how to do
that programmaticall y, and then do your searching right in the module
created.

MS Access Question / Multiple Find and Replace Based on Another Table

Run Macros without MS ACCESS loaded

by: Reg | last post by:

At present I'm running a number of macros with a schedular on my computer to update and maintain databases within our network. All my backends contain the tables that the macros update. But all the backends are on servers that do not have access loaded on them. I don't think it's possible to activate these macros from the servers schedular without access being present. Is this true?

Need help reading macro-heavy code

by: J Krugman | last post by:

I'm trying to read some source code that makes very heavy use of macros and other pre-processor directives. To make matters worse, macro definitions are stacked several layers deep (i.e. macros are defined in terms of other macros, which are in turn defined in terms of other macros, seemingly ad infinitum). I tried reading the *.i files generated by the preprocessor (i.e. by giving gcc the -E flag). To my surprise, the macros were not...
