CODE

Free
Automatically indent VBA code
http://www.bmsltd.ie/Indenter/ - I love this tool!

Find and replace a string in tables, queries, macros, forms, reports, modules. (Access XP Only)
http://www.telusplanet.net/starthere/findandreplace/ - Have not used this yet.

Not Free
Create a flowchart of your code.
http://www.fatesoft.com/s2f/ - I have tried the demo of this, not bad.

Print your code
These two connect code blocks If..Else..End If, Do..Loop, For..Next, Select..Case..End Select, etc

1. http://www.prettycode.com/ - I have tried the demo of this
2. http://www.starprint2000.com/vbaprint_features.html

Online code copier to maintain code color
http://www.zilpher.com/colourcode.php

Probably the best tools can be found at http://www.fmsinc.com/. The only problem is that unless you are in the business of doing Access databases for a living, the prices are prohibitive.

I noticed this listing is from 2004.
Is there a more up-to-date listing of great add-ins for Access 2007 and up?

 

[boblarson]

I don't know of one but from what I know, most of these should work with Access 2007 as well.

Is this a thread that is worth making sticky?

 

[boblarson]

Is this a thread that is worth making sticky?

I don't think so. Too many sticky posts and they become annoying and ignored. This thread wasn't the greatest on this subject anyway. But we might make the case to Jon/Vassago that we add a category for TOOLS.

There are some great tools in the ProcessTools Addin.
It's free for 30 days then it's only $10 US plus tax.
So free and cheap at the same time.
