Thank you for your interest in Total Visual SourceBook. We hope that this trial version helps you discover the power and flexibility of the product.
Total Visual SourceBook is the most complete collection of fully tested and consistently documented Visual Basic, Access, Office, and VBA source code. You’ll find consistent and original code that’s not available anywhere else, and it’s all available for you to inspect, modify, and incorporate into your projects royalty-free.
Best of all, our exclusive Code Explorer makes it easy to find the code you need, add your own code, securely share your code with other developers, and even package and ship code to others. The full library of built-in and user code is available directly through your Visual Basic IDE, so you can move code between Total Visual SourceBook and your projects quickly and easily!
After installing the Total Visual SourceBook Trial, you can start the program in one of two ways:
While we have designed Total Visual SourceBook to be as easy to use as possible, you should spend some time familiarizing yourself with the basics before using it. To do this, use the Online Help that comes with the product. You can access Online Help from the program by pressing [F1], or by going to your Windows Start Menu and selecting Programs, FMS, Total Visual SourceBook, Help.
The trial version is subject to some limitations:
The latest version of Total Visual SourceBook is 2013. This version runs in Microsoft Office 365/Access 2019, 2016, 2013, 2010, 2007, 2003, 2002, and 2000 applications. Some of the source code only works in Access 2007 or later, especially code related to the ACCDB database format. It also has code that includes 32 and 64-bit support for Access 2010, 2013, 2016 and 2019/Office 365. If you are using Access 2003 or earlier and don't have plans to migrate to 2007 or later, you may prefer the 2003 version.
To install the Trial version of Total Visual SourceBook, follow these steps.
