Total Visual CodeTools Does Not Appear on My
Access Add-ins Menu
Total Visual CodeTools is an add-in for your module editor.
Unlike other Access Add-ins, Total Visual CodeTools does not appear
on the Access Add-ins menu. Instead, it appears in the VBA module
editor (IDE). To use Total Visual CodeTools in Access, open any
module (or press Alt-F11) to open the VBA IDE.
If Total Visual CodeTools is properly installed, it is on the menu as
"Total Visual CodeTools". Its toolbar may also appear if you chose to
display it.
Total Visual CodeTools is Missing from the VB or
VBA IDE Menu
When you install Total Visual CodeTools, the setup program creates
registry entries so the Microsoft Visual Basic and Office programs can
integrate it into their add-ins menu.
Total Visual CodeTools installs as a “loaded” add-in. This means that
whenever you start Visual Basic or the Office Visual Basic Editor, the Total
Visual CodeTools menu item and toolbar are ready to go.
Because of Microsoft’s support for VB/VBA add-ins on a user rather than
machine basis, if you installed Total Visual CodeTools under a different
Windows login name, you’ll need to load it again.
For Visual Basic 6 (VB6)
For VB6, you can simply select it from the Add-ins Menu.
For VBA (Microsoft Office, Access, Excel, Word, etc.)
For VBA, you need to update the registry. Exit your VBA host program
before doing this. For your convenience, a REG file is included in the
installation directory of Total Visual CodeTools 2007 that you simply need
to run. Locate the file named VBA-Addin.reg, and double click it. This
warning is displayed:
Click [Yes] to confirm the registry change, and the registry is updated
for the current user. The registry file contains the following information:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\VBA\VBE\6.0\Addins\FMSVBEI.CAddInConnect]
@=""
"FriendlyName"="Total Visual CodeTools"
"LoadBehavior"=dword:00000003
The next time you run your VBA host, Total Visual CodeTools will appear
on the code editor menu.
I receive an Error when I run Total Visual CodeTools
- Error 3021, "No current record"
- Error 40179, "Requested type library or wizard is not a VBA
project."
This issue can occur in an Access database that contains a corrupt object
(e.g. a module or code behind form or report). In many cases, such
corruption can be resolved by following the steps to
decompile
and recompile your database.
If you still encounter this error after following these steps,
please
contact us
so that we can be of further assistance.
