Best functions in MZ tools for me are “Procedure Callers”, “Find”, and “Sort Procedures”
I also really like the “Find Name in Range” function from Excel Utilities and the form “Nudge” controls from VBE Tools.

So far, my dictator app with satellite add-ins & template has about 20,000 LOC at about 20 lines procedure. 3 years and counting on this one, most paid by clients (yes! more than one).

One thing that is always a problem is getting lost in the process; both in coding and spreadsheet design (range names, named formulas, etc). What process do you use to keep track: is there a custom program (Source Safe) or have you built a custom word/excel/access widget?</p> <p>doco</p> I use MZ tools as well.

But instead of uninstalling it, I used the Add-In manager to unload when not using it and all the 'issues' disappeared. This way I don't have to keep installing and uninstalling and yet get the full benefits of MZTools.</p> After reading these comments, I downloaded MZTools and also had issues with it as described by others above.

I dont think i have the will to write 25859 lines of VBA, I think my bigest project is around 3000 lines.

MZ tools, code intenter (and VBE tools) and Code cleaner are all used regularly. I use the close all window button alot in MZ tools too.
