Text replace in VBA code of Excel files

To begin With

Sorry for taking some time in posting but I was creating a UI for it so that it not only helps you but anyone else who comes looking for the same functionality.

You need to first enable Trust Access to the VBA project Object model

Open Excel and Click on File Tab | Options | Trust Center | Trust Center Settings | Macro Settings

Enable macro and click on Trust access to Visual Basic projects

Next In VBA Editor

Click on Tool | Options and under the "Editor" Tab select the checkbox Require Variable Declaration

Next Download the Sample file from here and simply press the Run Button In Sheet1 to launch the userform as shown below.

Simple select the folder which has ONLY Excel Files. Enter the relevant info and click on Start Replace and you are done :)

Code Used

Sheet1 Code Area

Option Explicit

Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
    UserForm1.Show
End Sub

    Dim Ret
    Ret = BrowseForFolder
    If Ret = False Then Exit Sub
    TextBox1.Text = Ret

    Dim wb As Workbook
    Dim strPath As String, strfile As String
    Dim strToReplaceWith As String, strToReplace As String
    Dim i As Long, j As Long

    Dim VBE As Object

    strPath = TextBox1.Text & "\"

    strfile = Dir(strPath)

    While strfile <> ""
        Set wb = Workbooks.Open(strPath & strfile)

        Set VBE = ActiveWorkbook.VBProject

        If VBE.VBComponents.Item(1).Properties("HasPassword").Value = False Then
            If VBE.VBComponents.Count > 0 Then
                For i = 1 To VBE.VBComponents.Count
                    VBE.VBComponents.Item(i).Activate

                    If VBE.VBE.CodePanes.Item(i).CodeModule.CountOfLines > 0 Then
                        For j = 1 To VBE.VBE.CodePanes.Item(i).CodeModule.CountOfLines
                            If InStr(1, VBE.VBE.CodePanes.Item(i).CodeModule.Lines(j, 1), TextBox2.Text, vbTextCompare) Then
                                strToReplace = VBE.VBE.CodePanes.Item(i).CodeModule.Lines(j, 1)
                                strToReplaceWith = Replace(strToReplace, TextBox2.Text, TextBox3.Text, 1, 1, vbTextCompare)
                                VBE.VBE.CodePanes.Item(i).CodeModule.ReplaceLine j, strToReplaceWith
                            End If

EDIT

ALTERNATIVE FILE DOWNLOAD LOCATION

In case the above wikisend link dies, the file can be downloaded from here

I suggest you create a config file which includes your server names and credentials. Then you add a module to each of your Excel files that parses this config file at startup and fills global variables with it. You just have to adjust the variables for the server name etc. in all your VBA modules to the new global variables.

This way you can change your access data any time you like just by editing or replacing the text file.
