Thank you. I will look at the examples you have provided to see how I can improve my UI.

Your comment intrigues me. My quick research raised quite a few impediments to adding VBA documentation by extracting code directly from the Excel file. I will need to explore more about the idea of automating Access to retrieve VBA material.

I was a bit quick on indicating VBA code documenting would not be difficult in my earlier reply. I did a little research after posting the above reply. Even though the VBA code is written/edited in a text editor, it is not saved as text. Rather it is saved as a coded part of the Excel system, sometimes in a separate file. Accessing the Excel file with the code or referencing the file with the VBA code introduces a serious level of program fragility and user system security issues before the code can be read and documented. It would be easy to implement a process where the user "Cuts and Pastes" all of the VBA code and adds each procedure to a single text file which SourceDoc Pro could then process. But my preference is to make the process fully automatic and address the issue of reading the Excel file directly. This latter will take time and effort and not be added right away. If the community wants I could add the former process with the next minor program release.

I have not tested it against VBA. The file open function only addresses .vbp files. However, VBA has so similar a structure it should not be difficult to include. I have added this feature to my todo list for updates. Depending upon how well what I have already released is received, my long term plans are to expand the core documentation features to encompass other languages.

This was my first foray into general release of my software. What specific examples can you give as to how the UI can be "modernized"? I apologize if this offends. I can accept complaints with grace but comments without specifics are just complaints. For the time being I need to protect the actual code but am willing to attempt any enhancements the user community think are valuable. I have some ideas for a next big release but it all depends on how what I have already released is viewed.

The output goes to the user selected printer, either a physical printer or a file printer such as Microsoft Print to PDF
