tool request: VBA source code formatter/beautifier

Hi experts,

I am looking for a source formatter which helps me to format my VBA macros.

This tool should meet the following requirements

* no more expensive than 25 USD/EUR

* it should support both Excel and Winword and Access

* it should be a stand-alone executable, not an Add-In.

I would like to add a menu-item to MS Office and start the formatter by a keyboard hotkey.

Do you know such a tool?

Hi Mathes,

personally i use a VCS from www.windsweptsoftware.com but that's more a tool for VB projects although you could also use it in your VBA projects

maybe this one is more what you're looking for

Hi again,

thank you very much for your links which lead me to source code formatters.

After visiting the links I found out that these formatters are actually bound for
Visual Basic. I know that VBA and VB are very similar, but not identical.
Can you please tell me, if these VB formatters will be able to format VBA sources properly, too?
