Since Total Visual SourceBook is a source code library, we don't provide a copy of the program and all its code. A Trial Version is available to use the Total Visual SourceBook code explorer with some example code so you can see how it works. You can also add your own code to the repository.

Here's a list of all the modules in Total Visual SourceBook and some sample code related to date math.

Please remember that all FMS products come with a 30-day money back guarantee, so you can buy with confidence!

If you are using the trial version, you will not have access to most of the code which is in the full version of the product.

Yes, during installation. You need Administrator rights to install Total Visual SourceBook. During installation you can choose to install it for the machine or user.

If you install it for the machine, other users with lower permissions can run the program.

This behavior is correct. If you insert the code from the "Example" tab into your project and not the actual code, the example won't run.

You need to first insert the actual code into your project and make sure it compiles before adding the Example code.

When exporting the code the into your project, some modules may have "Other Dependencies" such as DLLs. These are References you need in your project for the code to run. References are set from your VBA module editor's Tools, References menu, or in VB6 under Project, References.

In earlier versions, this error occurs when you attempt to run the Update Wizard by double clicking the "Update.exe" instead of running it from the Windows Menu shortcut.

This is because the update.exe file requires parameters to return the correct information. In order to determine if there is an update available for this product, please run the update wizard program from the Windows menu under the Total Visual SourceBook folder.
