ACLib-Import-Wizard

Import code from AccessCodeLib into application by add-in

Details: https://wiki.access-codelib.net/ACLib-Import-Wizard

Using the Import-Wizard:

Video: create new Access application

Video: Import from GitHub repository

Automation API

The wizard can be used without UI, e.g. from scripts or AI agents. API returns a JSON string:

Application.Run "<add-in path without .accda>.API", "<Command>", "<Files>", "<Options>"

' Example (installed add-in)
Application.Run Environ("APPDATA") & "\Microsoft\AddIns\ACLibImportWizard.API", _
                "Resolve", "form/filter/FilterControlManager.cls", "mode=missing"

Command	Arguments	Result
GetVersion	-	add-in and API version
GetConfig	[Options]	configured repositories, resulting source
ListInstalled	-	ACLib modules in the current database (<file> from the codelib block)
Resolve	Files, [Options]	read only: files incl. dependencies, references, tests, planned action (import/skip/overwrite), missing files
Import	Files, [Options]	imports like the wizard form; imported/skipped files, missing dependencies, added/removed references, messages

• Files: "data/SqlTools.cls;text/String2.cls"
• Options: "mode=missing|all|selected;tests=0|1;examples=0|1;source=config|local|github;repo=owner/name@branch" (defaults: mode=missing, tests=0, examples=0, source=config = local repository if configured, otherwise GitHub AccessCodeLib/AccessCodeLib@master)

Result: {"ok":true,...} or {"ok":false,"error":{"number":...,"source":"...","description":"..."}} (no message boxes).

{"ok":true,"source":"local","repository":"C:\CodeLib\AccessCodeLib\\","mode":"missing","tests":false,"examples":false,
 "files":[{"name":"String2","file":"text/String2.cls","type":"class","action":"import"},
          {"name":"_AccessCodeLib_license","file":"_codelib/license.bas","type":"module","action":"skip"},
          {"name":"StringTools","file":"text/StringTools.bas","type":"module","action":"import"}],
 "missing":[],"references":{"added":[],"removed":[]},"executes":[],"messages":[]}

Notes:

• The add-in and the target database must be in trusted locations. Otherwise Access shows a security prompt (the call blocks) or disables code.
• Import stops before importing if a selected file is not available. Missing dependencies are skipped (as in the wizard form) and listed in missing.
• Compile the project after Import and check the result.
• With msaccess-vcs-mcp: vcs_call_vba(database_path="<target>.accdb", function_name="<add-in path without .accda>.API", args=["Resolve", "text/String2.cls"])
