Add code to all Forms

[Andy Hartley]

I have a large application which contains many hundreds of forms. I need to add a set piece of code to a particular procedure on every form in the system. Does any one know of a quick and neat way that I can copy the code to all the forms without me having to do it manually

[Si_the_geek]

put the code in a module, then all the forms can access it

Peet is right. Order some pizza and call all your friends over. Its going to be a lot of work.

You could make an Add-in that loops through all the
forms in your project and adds the code in each.
Add-ins aren't too hard to make, and when you get
used to making them, there are lots of things you
can do to automate your programming.

nono what Hack is trying to say is "Order some pizza and call Peet and Hack over... we will help u ... eating all that pizza"

Couldn't you just loop through all the .frm file and open then for input one at a time. Do a line input and until you find the procedure you need. Add your piece of code and move on to the next form.

Maybe i am crazier than a coconut but could u use a little proggie to open up all the forms as text files, add the new routine and then save them..??? I posted something like this before for html files... any reason it wouldnt work for .frm files??
