Copying Commands from the Object Browser

The Object Browser displays a hierarchical list of all of the objects, properties, methods, and events available to VBA procedures. The browser organizes these different objects into libraries. The list of libraries is not limited to those built into Access itself. It also includes libraries from other Access projects and add-ins. You can use the Object Browser as a reference tool, or you can copy and paste commands from the browser directly into your Sub procedures.
