Automatically Export All SQL Queries & VBA Code From an Access Database

Most Microsoft Access databases hide years of business logic inside saved queries and VBA modules. When you’re ready to modernize—whether that’s moving processes into Power BI Dataflows, SQL Server, Fabric, or a Python-based pipeline—the first problem is usually:

“How do I extract all of this logic from Access without opening every query manually?”

To make that easier, I worked with ChatGPT to build a lightweight VBA utility that:

• Exports all SQL queries to individual .sql files
• Exports all VBA modules (.bas, .cls, .frm)
• Logs any errors and continues
• Produces a clean folder structure ready for GitHub or documentation
• Runs in seconds, even on large databases

The full VBA script and documentation are available here: GitHub

This simple workflow removes the pain of dealing with slow-loading Access queries and gives you a complete snapshot of your database logic on disk—ready for migration, review, or version control.
