Module property wizards in Access 2000/2/3?

I'm migrating my development tools & code builders from Access 97 to
2003.

In an Access 97 code window, you could right-click, choose Build...
and launch a module property wizard that could insert text into the
module. This was ideal for rapid entry of common code snippets, code
templates, etc.

I can't find any way to reproduce this functionality in Access 2003.

In Access 97, you enabled the property wizard by entering appropriate
keys/values into the following registry key:

HKEY_CURRENT_ACCESS_PROFILE\Wizards\Property Wizards\Module\[Your
Builder Name]

This doesn't work in Access 2003.

This nice thing about the property wizard approach is that tool
"knows" what module & procedure you're in and can incorporate this
information into your code stub. There's no need to pick your module
or procedure name. Also, you can write directly into the code window,
without a need to copy anything from the clipboard (like FMS's tools
make you do).

I can't believe Microsoft would drop this incredibly useful
functionality, so I'm sure I just haven't figured out how to interact
with the new design environment.

Any thoughts?
