Hello:

Is there anyway to force A2K to use the VB6 IDE or .Net IDE instead of
the built-in VBA Editor?

Thanks,
Mike
 
Gee, I did not think that the VB6 IDE and the ms-access IDE are much
different (they are VERY VERY similar).

Exactly what feature where you missing? The IDE in ms-access is "taken" from
VB6..and there is not much different.

If you place your cursor on a function in code, and whack shift-f2...you
jump to that sub/function (the same is for VB6).

You can continue this drill down through your code, and ctrl-shift-f2
un-corks, and reverses direction (once again, the same thing works in VB6).

f2 = object browser (again same in VB6).

I mean, I can see you asking for the .net environment, but to ask to use VB6
in place of the ALMOST IDENTICAL VBA ide that ms-access has is rather
confusing to me????

(but, the answer as far as I know..is no..you can't).
 
Gee, either you're terribly bored or you're having a seriously bad day.
Thanks for the ramble, all I was looking for was the last line...

No rant was intended (sorry if I came across that way...not my intention).

I was just surprised, since the VB6 ide so much the same one for ms-access.
And, hey maybe you have some special needs, or as you mention, are just
plain curious! (nothing wrong with your question at all by the way).

And, to be fair, a good many IDE's often let you specify the code editor
(but not the ms-access one).

Right down to the bug where if you are stepping through your code and
you make a change to a line continued onto the next line the IDE drops
the _ at the end of the line. Happens in both A97 and VB6.
