Question

I’m using Excel 2010. I have some code in background (VBA) that is growing up from time to time. I’m trying to find a way to separate the source code from the xls file, so I could compare the code changes. In other words, I want that the code will be in a textual file, and every time I’ll open the Excel file, the source code for macros will be taken from this file.

Thanks in advance!

First of all, thank you all for your answers. my solution was:
1. export all the modules to *.bas (one file per module).
2. add the modules code my calling:

Application.VBE.ActiveVBProject.VBComponents.Import (filename)

for each file..
3. after finishing:

Set VBComp = VBProj.VBComponents(moduleName)
If Err.Number = 0 Then 'no error
    VBProj.VBComponents.Remove VBComp

that’s remove the module so it won’t be saved in the xls before quiting
