Exporting VBA code from Multiple Excel documents to put into version control [closed]
You'll find a tool for this here:

It's a VBS script that automates excel. You can modify it according to your needs - note that it isn't perfect (read the webpage for caveats).

Else Set xl = CreateObject("Excel.Application") Set fs = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject") xl.Visible = true Set WBook = xl.Workbooks.Open(Trim(wScript.Arguments(0))) ExportFolder = WBook.Path & "\" & fs.GetBaseName(WBook.Name) fs.CreateFolder(ExportFolder) For Each VBComp In WBook.VBProject.VBComponents Select Case VBComp.Type Case vbext_ct_ClassModule, vbext_ct_Document Sfx = ".cls" Case vbext_ct_MSForm Sfx = ".frm" Case vbext_ct_StdModule Sfx = ".bas" Case Else Sfx = "" End Select If Sfx <> "" Then On Error Resume Next Err.Clear VBComp.Export ExportFolder & "\" & VBComp.Name & Sfx If Err.Number <> 0 Then MsgBox "Failed to export " & ExportFolder & "\" & VBComp.Name & Sfx End If On Error Goto 0 End If Next xl.Quit End IfEnd Sub-Adam
I have used this successfully for the past few years to export my code and save it. I can confirm it works in Office 2003, 2007. I assume it works in 2000 as well.
When I was doing a lot of Excel VBA development I got into the habit of exporting to the text format for each file (module, etc) each time I made a change (from the context menu). I kept those files in source control alongside the XLA binary. This worked pretty well for me and didn't require any external tools.
