Hi Tim and sorry for a delayed response. My intention was to be able to
document the collection members (forms, modules, etc) as text files
utilizing Application.SaveAsText which I am finding may not be possible.
I am able to retrive the document properties but not their contents as text.
I was/am trying to make use of Arvin's DocDatabase function which works if
you use it within the database itself.
Any possibilities?

I need to reach the db.containers for documentation as txt files. I
have the necessary code that works within the db but I need to get it
to work from an external db.



I'm not sure what the problem is. If you have a reference set to DAO 3.6,
and you create a dao.database variable and Set it by OpenDatabase, then
you
can do anything with it that you could do with one set to CurrentDB.

I don't really understand the question, so it might help to restart with
an
explanation of what doesn't work, any error messages, and the relevant bit
of code that you have tried.
