Im trying to use the replaceline function to update code in Access VBA module. it keeps coming up with a compile error. Ive checked that the VBA Extension are selected and compared it to other examples that I have looked up.
this is the first time that Ive used this type of function, so I haven't fully got my head around them.
code below
Sub ReplaceCodeModuleText(strModule As String, strFindWhat As String, strReplaceWith As String)
'FUNCTION:
' Search the code module for specific text
' Replace with new text
Dim VBProj As VBProject
Dim VBComp As VBComponent
Dim CodeMod As CodeModule
Dim SL As Long ' start line
Dim EL As Long ' end line
Dim SC As Long ' start column
Dim EC As Long ' end column
Dim strCodeLine As String
Dim vDummy As Variant
Dim Found As Boolean
Set VBProj = Application.VBE.ActiveVBProject
Set VBComp = VBProj.VBComponents(strModule)
Set CodeMod = VBComp.CodeModule ' '.CodeModule
With CodeMod
SL = 1: EL = .CountOfLines
SC = 1: EC = 255
Found = .Find(Target:=strFindWhat, StartLine:=SL, StartColumn:=SC, _
EndLine:=EL, EndColumn:=EC, _
wholeword:=True, MatchCase:=False, patternsearch:=False)
If Found Then
strCodeLine = CodeMod.Lines(SL, 1)
strCodeLine = Replace(strCodeLine, strFindWhat, strReplaceWith, Compare:=vbTextCompare) 'not case sensitive = vbTextCompare
.ReplaceLine(SL, strCodeLine)
Debug.Print "Successfully Replaced: " & strFindWhat & " in VBA Module: " & strModule & " with : " & strReplaceWith
Else
Debug.Print "Did not find: " & strFindWhat;
End If
End With
End Sub
.ReplaceLine(SL, strCodeLine)
must be either
Call .ReplaceLine(SL, strCodeLine)
or
.ReplaceLine SL, strCodeLine
