VBA Code Change
Hello,
Is is possible to detect the code change happened to VBA project? Or something like "save" event of VBA project (not workbook)? I intend to leave a mark in worksheet cells if VBA code has been edited, and next time when the book is opened, I can perform some processing if the mark is on and then turn off it. Thanks in advance. Ting |

VBA Code Change
Why not just protect your code to prevent changes. In the VB editor,
ToolsVBAProjectPropertiesProtect You can set a password to prevent unauthorized changes by most users. Of course, passwords can be overcome by astute users, but it would be effective against most.

VBA Code Change
No, I permit source code change, instead of protecting it.
In VBA project, some constants are defined, which serve as configuration purpose. When configuration changes, I need to do something like re-formatting in the workbook the next time it is opened (according to the new configuration). So the most expected behaviour is that some mark can be done "automatically" once VBA project is changed. Ting On Mar 19, 12:23 pm, JLGWhiz wrote: Why not just protect your code to prevent changes.

VBA Code Change
I don't believe VBA supports a self editing capability, other than the
compiler, syntax and structure edits. If the changes do not generate errors, then the built in edits would never detect the changes. I don't know if the 'LastModified' property would be that useful since it might not refer to code modifications. You can check that out in VBA help.

VBA Code Change
The two macros below allow you to check for the date a file was last
modified. Don't know if that will help you with what you are trying to do, but you can make that evaluation. The short macro is used to activate the longer one. Just substitute your actual file name for the value of fName. Sub getdate() fName = "YourFileName.xls" ShowFileAccessInfo (fName) End Sub Sub ShowFileAccessInfo(filespec) Dim fs, f, s Set fs = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject") Set f = fs.GetFile(filespec) s = UCase(filespec) & vbCrLf s = s & "Created: " & f.DateCreated & vbCrLf s = s & "Last Accessed: " & f.DateLastAccessed & vbCrLf s = s & "Last Modified: " & f.DateLastModified MsgBox s, 0, "File Access Info" End Sub " wrote: No, I permit source code change, instead of protecting it.
