Introducing Total Visual SourceBook

Total Visual SourceBook is the most complete collection of fully tested and consistently documented Visual Basic, Access, Office, and VBA source code. You’ll find consistent and original code that’s not available anywhere else, and it’s all available for you to inspect, modify, and incorporate into your projects royalty-free.

Best of all, our exclusive Code Explorer makes it easy to find the code you need, add your own code, securely share your code with other developers, and even package and ship code to others. The full library of built-in and user code is available directly through your Visual Basic IDE, so you can move code between Total Visual SourceBook and your projects quickly and easily!


Learning About Total Visual SourceBook

After installing the Total Visual SourceBook Trial, you can start the program in one of two ways:

  1. From the Windows Start menu, select Programs, FMS, Total Visual SourceBook Trial, and run the Program from there.
  2. Start the program from the Add-Ins menu in your VBA/VB6 code editor (IDE).

While we have designed Total Visual SourceBook to be as easy to use as possible, you should spend some time familiarizing yourself with the basics before using it. To do this, use the Online Help that comes with the product. You can access Online Help from the program by pressing [F1], or by going to your Windows Start Menu and selecting Programs, FMS, Total Visual SourceBook, Help.


Trial Version Limitations

The trial version is subject to some limitations:

  • You can see the entire list of topics, categories, modules and procedures with descriptions and examples, but only a subset includes the source code for you to view and export.
  • You can add up to 50 items to the code repository. There is no limit with the shipping version.
  • The code import feature is disabled. The shipping version lets you easily import code you've stored in a prior version of Total Visual SourceBook.
  • The trial version expires after 15 days.

Install the Trial

The latest version of Total Visual SourceBook is 2013. This version runs in Microsoft Office 365/Access 2019, 2016, 2013, 2010, 2007, 2003, 2002, and 2000 applications. Some of the source code only works in Access 2007 or later, especially code related to the ACCDB database format. It also has code that includes 32 and 64-bit support for Access 2010, 2013, 2016 and 2019/Office 365. If you are using Access 2003 or earlier and don't have plans to migrate to 2007 or later, you may prefer the 2003 version.
