Darryl, Over the past couple years, I have worked on a several Access applications that had many many modules. I found it to be very handy to have buttons on a form to more quickly view the VBA code (via DoCmd.OpenModule). I know that there are other ways to get at the code, but this method seems faster. I am now starting a project in Excel which is going to also have many modules. I was hoping to use the DoCmd.OpenModule command to do the same thing in Excel, but this command is not available in Excel.

Pressing "Alt-F11" doesn't do the job? That will open the VBE and show you all the related code. If you are working with an object (say a button) you can right mouse click > 'Assign Macro' > 'Edit...'. That will take you directly to the underlying code for that object. Not sure why you need a button on the worksheet to get to the VBE (?) I probably don't completely understand what your needs are with this.

Darryl, I would like to push a button to open up the VBE and see the code in a module.

Hi Brad, I work mostly with Excel - When you say "set up buttons in Excel in order to open modules" - you mean to press a button in the workbook to open up the VBE so you can see the code in that module, or do you mean to assign code to run when the button is pressed? As you have noticed. There are gobs of little syntax issues between Access VBA and Excel VBA. For all things Excel - you can also try the Excel-L (or Excel G) lists. They are very responsive and help. Been subbed for years on both (decades actually). G is usually for basic questions (How do I apply a Conditional Format - that sort of thing) L is for more prickly advanced issues and code stuff Naturally there is a wide grey area in that sort of classification. Many folks are subbed to both so only post to one or the other. X-posting is not necessary or appreciated. The EXCEL-L list is hosted on L-Soft international's LISTSERV(R) software running on Microsoft Windows Server 2008 R2.

All, I really like the DoCmd.OpenModule when developing in Access. Recently I have started a large project that is going to be using Excel. I have very little experience with Excel VBA. It appears that DoCmd.OpenModule will not work with Excel VBA. Is there another way to set up buttons in Excel in order to open modules? I know that this is really an Excel question and not an Access question, but I thought that someone in this group may have run into this before.
