Someone posted a question on mrexcel, asking how to replace modules in existing workbooks with new ones: https://www.mrexcel.com/forum/excel-questions/760732-vba-automatically-replace-modules-several-workbooks.html
They answered their question with others support as follows:
Sub Update_Workbooks()
'This macro requires that a reference to Microsoft Scripting Routine
'be selected under Tools\References in order for it to work.
Application.DisplayAlerts = False
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Dim fso As New FileSystemObject
Dim source As Scripting.Folder
Dim wbFile As Scripting.File
Dim book As Excel.Workbook
Dim sheet As Excel.Worksheet
Dim Filename As String
Dim ModuleFile As String
Dim Element As Object
Set source = fso.GetFolder("C:\Users\Desktop\Testing") 'we will know this since all of the files will be in one folder
For Each wbFile In source.Files
If fso.GetExtensionName(wbFile.Name) = "xlsm" Then 'we will konw this too. All files will be .xlsm
Set book = Workbooks.Open(wbFile.path)
Filename = FileNameOnly(wbFile.Name)
'This will remove all modules including ClassModules and UserForms.
'It will keep all object modules like (sheets, ThisWorkbook)
On Error Resume Next
For Each Element In ActiveWorkbook.VBProject.VBComponents
ActiveWorkbook.VBProject.VBComponents.Remove Element
Next
On Error GoTo ErrHandle
' Export Module1 from updating workbook
ModuleFile = Application.DefaultFilePath & "\tempmodxxx.bas"
Workbooks("Update Multiple Workbooks.xlsm").VBProject.VBComponents("Module1") _
.Export ModuleFile
' Replace Module1 in Userbook
Set VBP = Workbooks(Filename).VBProject
On Error Resume Next
With VBP.VBComponents
.Import ModuleFile
End With
' Delete the temporary module file
Kill ModuleFile
book.Close True
End If
Next
Exit Sub
ErrHandle:
' Did an error occur?
MsgBox "ERROR. The module may not have been replaced.", _
vbCritical
End Sub
However, its quite large, and wanted to show a simple way of doing the same thing. Also, I found that when Importing the Modules to a different sheet, the ThisWorkBook and Sheet files are also imported as ClassModules. This is not always desired, so see answer below for alternative options!
