Compare and merge Visual Basic code in Excel spreadsheets and Access databases with VbaDiff, a tool for tracking changes and integrating updates between VBA projects.
VbaDiff is an open-source diff tool used specifically for comparing Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) code in Microsoft Excel and Access files. It provides a graphical user interface for analyzing differences between two VBA projects and merging code changes.
VbaDiff can compare and merge modules, forms, reports, macros, and other VBA components across two Excel spreadsheets, Access databases, or between an Excel and Access file. It produces detailed reports highlighting inserted, deleted, and modified code lines. Developers can then choose to selectively merge changes between the VBA projects.
Key features of VbaDiff include:
VbaDiff helps VBA developers quickly integrate updates between Excel and Access projects with shared or copied VBA code. By simplifying code comparisons and merges, it reduces bugs and breaks resulting from overwritten changes or conflicts. Many developers rely on VbaDiff for version control and code review when working with VBA.
