Hi everyone.
I need to export a couple of very complicated access form to be used in a
VB6 procedure; in a few words, I need to obtain a .frm file, to be imported
in VB.
Does anyone know how can I do?

Thanks in advance

Bepi
 
The short answer is: "You can't do that." A slightly longer, though I'm
afraid probably not much more useful answer, is that you can save the
definition of an Access form using the undocumented SaveAsText command, but
that the result will not be usable in VB6, because many of the members of an
Access form simply do not exist in VB6.

Here's an example of how to use SaveAsText ...

Public Sub TestSaveAsText()

Application.SaveAsText acForm, "frmMenuMain", CurrentProject.Path &
"\MenuMain.txt"

End Sub
