The world's most popular collection of tools and utilities for Microsoft Access/Office VBA and VB 6 is now available for Microsoft Office Access 2007. Total Visual CodeTools 2007 introduces several exciting enhancements to make creating and maintaining code easier than ever.

Discover the many enhancements we've added:

Supports Microsoft Access/Office 2007

Total Visual CodeTools is fully supported under Access/Office 2007, and supports the new VBA syntax.

Unused Variable Analysis

The new Unused Variable Analysis feature helps you detect and eliminate unnecessary code from your project. Not only does it make your code more compact, the analysis may highlight problems where you thought the code should be doing or tracking something that it is not.

Easily find unused variables, constants, procedure parameters, classes, and user defined types and type elements.

Code Builder Enhancements

Total Visual CodeTools 2007 includes various improvements that make the Code Builders more effective and easier to use, including:

• The New Procedure Builder has direct control of including comments and error handling, adds an error handler specific to forms/reports, creates the return value assignment for functions, and can automatically use the current procedure name.
• The Recordset Builder is completely redesigned to support Access 2007 ACCDBs, Access database and project objects, and selecting the current and shared databases. Easily create ADO or DAO code to browse, add or edit records in your selected data source (table or query) and fields.

• The Long Text/SQL Builder includes options for word wrapping SQL text on AND/OR and JOIN syntax to make it easier to read your SQL strings.
