[AccessD] MZTools Letdown!

Just discovered MZTools does not import objects properly into MS Access
2013 database. Here is what I wrote to the vendor.

This just came to my attention today and I think it is a pretty serious
failing. When I exported modules and did some editing of them in WinMerge
then imported the altered files back into MS Access database, the following
problems were observed:

MS Access forms are not imported. Their code comes in ok as Class1, Class2,
etc. This is a defect that can be lived with except that it is not always
clear what the correspondence is between Class1 and whatever form that code
is representative of.

MS Reports - the code does not come in AT ALL. Why doesn't the code come in
as Classes at least? Would have the same difficulty in terms of
correspondence between report name and new Class module names, but at least
the code would be present. AND THERE IS NO WARNING about this.

Standard and Class Modules... New modules come in but old existing modules
do not get overwritten and instead they come in with a numeric increment in
the name. Therefore what I had to do was manually remove all class and
standard modules, and then import them.
