MDB->BAS v 1.2 14 Sep 94
-------------------------
This is a simple VB app that reads the structure of a MS Access MDB
database file and produces the necessary VB code to create the file.
It handles all of the usual field and table attributes including
attached tables, version 1.0 and 1.1, query defs etc.
I also optionally produces documentation of the MDB in the form of
source code comments.
Usage
-----
Typically I create an MDB file with Access and when I am happy with
the structure of the MDB I use this to generate the code.
If you dont save yourself at least 1 hours coding with this handy
little tool I'd be most surprised. I know it's saved me at least 20
hours this month!
Requirements
------------
This unregistered version requires the Access DLLs and the common
dialog VBX.
To use the generated code you will of course need VB 3 Pro.
Limitations
-----------
I have not tried this with version 2 MDB's. If you have the
compatability layer installed it may work though provided you do not
select the Version 1.0 option.
The unregistered version will only allow you to print the generated
code. Registration allows saving of code to file as well as viewing
on screen.
Registration & Source Code
--------------------------
The registration fee is US$20. For this, you get the compiled version
as well as the full source code!
CIS SWREG is 3070.
Disclaimer
----------
I take no responsibility for anything that doesn't work and full
responsibility for everything that does! And if you think you can
sue me then think again! I run faster than any lawyer I know!
