[AccessD] How to automatically add "Option Explicit" to existing code modules

Darryl,

 

This should work.Just make sure you backup and try it on a safety copy
first.

 

Option Explicit

Sub AddProcedureToModule()

    Dim VBProj                                    As VBIDE.VBProject

    Dim VBComp                                    As VBIDE.VBComponent

    Dim strOld                                    As String

    Dim strNew                                    As String

    Dim cntLines                                  As Long

 

    Set VBProj = ActiveWorkbook.VBProject

    For Each VBComp In VBProj.VBComponents

Debug.Print VBComp.Name

        If VBComp.CodeModule.CountOfLines > 0 Then

            strOld = VBComp.CodeModule.Lines(1,
VBComp.CodeModule.CountOfLines)

            If strOld Like "*Option Explicit*" Then

            Else

                strNew = "Option Explicit" & Chr(10) & strOld

                cntLines = VBComp.CodeModule.CountOfLines

                VBComp.CodeModule.DeleteLines 1, cntLines

                VBComp.CodeModule.AddFromString strNew

                strOld = ""

                strNew = ""

            End If

        End If

    Next

End Sub

Hi folks,

 

"How to add "Option Explicit" to existing code modules"

 

I am not optimistic about this one as a Google search was fairly fruitless,
although I did find one tool suite that claimed to do this, but is is $200+
for a single user license so I lost interest at that point.  Maybe I am not
searching with the best keywords.

 

I am working on databases largely built by others and none of them use
"Option Explict".  As a result there are dozens of little code errors that
reveal themselves when explict is turned on. 

 

Of course the first thing I do is turn this option on, but that only applys
to any new modules added.  Clearly I can manually paste in 'Option Explicit'
into every existing form, report & code module, but there are hundreds of
the little buggers and I would prefer not to have to do this manually.

 

Does anyone has some sneaky cheeky code that will check for option explict
and write it into the form/module etc if it is missing?  I would of thought
this would have been a fairly useful thing to do - and a standard option to
have from the VBE, but hey, what do I know :)

 

cheers

Darryl
