💡 AI App Starter Prompt

Use this prompt to build a project with access-vba 
Create a utility called 'AccessVBAManager' that leverages the 'access-vba' package to manage Microsoft Access databases' VBA code from the command line. This utility will allow users to perform operations such as exporting VBA modules, importing new VBA modules, and editing existing ones within an Access database.

Step-by-Step Instructions:
1. Set up a Python virtual environment and install the 'access-vba' package.
2. Design a CLI interface using Python's argparse module to accept commands and arguments.
3. Implement functions to connect to an Access database using the 'access-vba' package.
4. Create a function to export VBA modules from the database to local files.
5. Develop a feature to import VBA modules from local files into the database.
6. Add functionality to edit VBA modules directly within the database through the CLI.
7. Ensure error handling is robust to manage issues like file not found errors or connection failures.
8. Write comprehensive documentation on how to use the 'AccessVBAManager' utility.
9. Test the application thoroughly to ensure all features work as expected.

Suggested Features:
- Support for multiple database connections.
- Ability to specify which VBA modules to export/import/edit.
- Interactive mode for editing VBA code in real-time.
- Logging of all actions performed for audit purposes.
- Compatibility with both .accdb and .mdb file formats.

Utilizing 'access-vba':
- Use 'access-vba' to establish a connection to the Access database.
- Leverage its methods for exporting, importing, and editing VBA modules.
- Integrate 'access-vba' functionalities to streamline interaction with Access databases' VBA code.

This project aims to provide developers with a powerful tool for managing VBA code in Access databases without needing to open the Access application itself.
