Jim - what do you do after that to find unreferenced items?

FWIW, those that have Rick Fisher's Find and Replace, there is also a cross
reference utility in there that works against all objects (not just code).

 Click the Cross-Ref button and then check "Only list unreferenced items"
under the report grouping. 

 One of the fastest ways to clean up an Access app...

Jim.

This is another great time-saver in MZ Tools (VB6 version):

 

>From the MZ Tools toolbar push the Other Utilities button.  Select 'Review
Source Code'.  In the window that appears, you'll see a collapsible
hierarchical listing of objects with a description of what's not used in
blue text.  Double-click on the blue text to move directly to the variable,
parameter, or procedure so you can fix it then and there!

 

There is also a version of MZ Tools for .Net developers - not free but
undoubtedly well worth it.
