extract vba forms

Hi,

I need to extract the vba forms from some .mdb files. Is there some
utility that will do this? If not is there any other way to separate
the actual code from the database? I don't care about the tables or
data, just the code.

Thank you,
Nik

Access has that feature built in, though it is perhaps a bit misleadingly
named. In Access 2007, go to the "External Data" tab on the ribbon, click on
Access, and in the "Get External Data - Access Database" dialog box, make
sure the first option "Import tables queries, forms, reports, macros and
modules into the current database" is selected. In earlier versions, if I
remember correctly, you select 'Get external data" from the File menu.
Despite the reference to "data" this feature enables you to import forms
(along with their code) and modules, not just data.
