Read the "Options, Tab Width" setting of the the VBE Options from VBA?

I like to change that one too, gustav ;) ~

Thanks John, that's it. (Crystal, that link is for the UI only).

Two things to add:

[list]This registry entry does not exist by default. It is created first time you change the setting.[/list]
[list]For Access 2016, the path is: ..\VBA\7.1\Common[/list]

However, and strangely, property [b]VBE.Version[/b] reports 7.01, not 7.1 so you have to find the path perhaps like this:

    VbeVersion = Replace(VBE.Version, "0", "")

or, though doubtful, in case of an upcoming version 10:

    VbeVersion = Split(VBE.Version, ".")(0) & "." & CStr(Val(Split(VBE.Version, ".")(1)))

Good observations Gustav....i found it by searching through ProcMon

here is a link for setting it using visual studio -- called tab size
