Chip,
Two ideas on module size that I have used - please advise if these are not
as effective as I had thought;
1. Export the module and view the file size using Windows Explorer
2. VBE Tools 2.0 Add-In from Office Automation (http://www.oaltd.co.uk )
has
a module size indicator in its toolbar.

Unfortunately, there is no way to determine the size of a module,
other than number of lines of code.

Thanks for the info, Chip.

How do you know how much the compiled size is?

There is no hard limit on the number of lines of code in a
module, but the compiled size of the code in the module must
be
less than 64K. I tend to keep modules less than about 3K
lines
of code.

I do a lot of VB programming in the modules, which take data
from a
spreadsheet, perform a calcualtion and write the answer back
to
the
spreadsheet. I have a lot of code in a number of modules.
At
a certain
point, when I add code to a module, it stops working.
Moving
the code to
another module ususally corrects the problem.

My question: Is there a limit on the number or size of each
module?
