We probably know that there is a limit to the amount of code that a VBA code module can handle. The code module is essentially an in-file text file (if exported it can be viewed with a simple text eitor), and can accomodate a size of approx 64k bytes. As such, the answer to that previous question should always be an emphatic yes. But it also should be yes from a code maintainability persepctive, even … Continue reading Too many Modules Spoil the VBA Project?
