Thanks for the tips. I have done the splitting up of a too large module the
hard way; that is by trial and error.
I might have a go later to make a Word macro that does what I want. It still
could be useful to get a list of the variables as mentioned for example to
organise the variables in such a way that you use the smallest possible
scope. I am sure at the moment I have public variables where they could be
private by moving them to the right module.
If somebody already has code (in Excel, Word or whatever) that could make
such a list I still would be interested.

I just wrote a VB6 addin in a day or so that will (among other things)
list
all procedures by module and project in a project group using objects and
techniques similar to the ones explained he
http://www.cpearson.com/excel/vbe.htm . You could do the same for Excel.
The
code need not be in an addin, but could be in a regular project.

If you don't want to write your own utility, you might copy a modules
worth
of code at a time into a text editor that can sort the lines then sort the
lines. Those that begin with Public, Private, Dim, Const, Type, Enum, Sub,
Function will be variables, constants or procedures. If you are concerned
with their order in the original module, number the lines (include leading
zeros), sort by the column following the numbers, delete lines you don't
want (or copy out those you do), then resort by the first column. You may
discover other tricks. UltraEdit is an editor that will let you do the
foregoing. You can download a free, fully functional, time limited copy at
www.ultraedit.com or download a registered copy for - last I looked - $35.
UltraEdit will list functions in a file it thinks is a VB file
(*.bas,*.cls,*.frm,*.ctl) in a list that can be copied. It might not
identify all procedures and may identify some variables that are not
procedures out of the box, but I was able easily modify the "WORDFILE.TXT"
that it uses to ID them so that it will.

If you don't need local variables, then the variables you do want will be
at
the top of the modules.

Using Excel XP.
How would I get a list of all the variables, their type (public,
private,
including arrays, no need for local variables), the module and the subs
or
functions they are used in in a worksheet?
Had a look at different freeware utilities, but found nil yet that can
do
this.
The purpose is to make it easier to split up one large module into
smaller
ones.
Thanks for any advice.
