Exporting all QueryDefs contained within a Microsoft Access Database file (MDB) to single files is straightforward, once you know how.

The following VBA function does just this:

Public Sub ExportAllQueriesToFile()
    Dim qdf As QueryDef
    Dim strFileName As String

    For Each qdf In CurrentDb.QueryDefs
        If Left(qdf.Name, 1) <> "~" Then
            strFileName = qdf.Name & ".SQL"

            Set fs = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
            Set destinationFile = _
                fs.CreateTextFile("c:\" & strFileName, True)

            destinationFile.WriteLine "-----------"
            destinationFile.WriteLine qdf.Name
            destinationFile.WriteLine "-----------"
            destinationFile.WriteLine ""
            destinationFile.WriteLine qdf.sql

            destinationFile.Close
        End If
    Next qdf

    MsgBox "Done"
End Sub

Simply create a new VBA module inside the MDB file where you want to export the queries from and execute the function.

Optionally, adjust the destination folder path.

Exporting other objects like Reports or Forms

To export other objects, use the function ExportDatabaseObjects described in this forum posting.

This function exports

• Tables definitions
• Form definitions
• Report definitions
• Script definitions
• Module definitions
• Query definitions

from a given Microsoft Office Access MDB or ACCDB database file.
