Need to scan xls files and identify if they use macros...wanna use VB
 

I was on a project to do something similar, and besides an automated
chaeck, there was a need to have each Excel file with potential
code/upgrade issues checked. I believe there is a HasMacro bit you can
check on each file.

Also, if that doesn't exist, you can count the lines of the modules,
trim the empty space, then have a some criteria where the string needs
to be greater than some small value to qualify as having code.
