[AccessD] Is it possible to update VBA code with VBA?

May not work for you but I use the Application Title in Tools-->Startup.
It's available using

CurrentDb.Properties("AppTitle")

Ad I bump the version and date whenever I make changes to an app.  Then
display it on the opening form.

It also becomes the banner at the top of every form.

It can be done, although as others have mentioned, it is probably not the
optimal solution for you.
but in case you are curious or want to take that path, there is the link to
one of the better sites for using code to mode the VBE.

Subject: [AccessD] Is it possible to update VBA code with VBA?

All,

We have an Access application that creates a number of reports and is used
by several people.  In addition, because the application is fairly new, it
is being enhanced on a regular basis.

In order to avoid confusion, we have decided to establish a simple
"Application Version ID" that is shown at the bottom of all reports (and
also on forms).  The format of this Version ID is
Day.Month/Day/Year at Hour:Minute (example Thu.1/13/2011 at 15:53).  This works
nicely when we want to see which version of the application was used to
generate a previously generated report, etc.

Currently, we have a simple routine which generates our Version ID.
When changes are made to the application by our programmer, this routine is
used to generate a new Version ID and display it in a TextBox.  We then
manually copy this generated ID into the value of a Global Constant field
which is referenced in several places in the application.  (Note that only
the Access programmer is allowed to change the application.)


This process works Okay, but it would be better if we could programmatically
update the value of the constant field when the application is changed by
the programmer.  

Is there a way to update VBA code with VBA?  In other words, can a VBA
routine update other VBA code? (A small routine to generate our Version ID
and then plug the generated ID into the value of a Global constant).

Here is our Global Constant Field with its value. 
Global Const Con_Version_ID As String = "Thu.1/13/2011 at 15:53"

This might be a really dumb question.  We just have never tried to do this
before.

Thanks for your help.
Brad
