Topic outline:

In this session, Carlos will present a detailed demonstration covering ten advanced features of his highly regarded VBE add-in, MZ-Tools, that can make you more productive and create better code in VBA. There are features to code faster, to find code faster, to review the quality of the code and much more.

There are over 60 features in the MZ-Tools add-in including well known items such as automated error handling and line numbering.
It is likely that the session will mainly focus on these MZ-Tools features:

1.   Portable edition
2.   Customizing MZ-Tools buttons on built-in toolbars and new toolbars
3.   Keyword expansion for code templates
4.   Development Environment Settings Review
5.   Generate custom HTML documentation from XML documentation with XSLT
6.   Find / Replace with regular expressions
7.   Custom code element sorting
8.   Nomenclature Rules Review
9.   Programming Rules Review
10.   Automating MZ-Tools features with VBScript / PowerShell



NOTE:
Carlos also gave a brief overview of all MZ-Tools features in his recent presentation to the SQL Server with Access user group on 12 Dec 2023. The session was recorded and the video is now available as Automating Access Programming – Leveraging MZ Tools on the AccessUserGroups.org YouTube channel.
