Backup all modules, class modules and userforms to a selectable folder
I do not know if this is already shared but since I have found a part of it online and made some additions from older downloaded code I thought to share it.
This will save all modules, class modules and forms to a selected folder.
To the mods: I suspect that this might not be the proper subforum to share the code and I apologize but I didn't know where exactly to share.
Please by all means transfer it to the proper location if needed. :)
