Sometimes it is necessary to pass your macro to another user. The most commonly used method to do that is "copy/paste". However, when the macro is too big or uses other elements, i.e. user-defined windows (forms), the "copy/paste" method is no longer useful. In such situation the macro import/export mechanism, which enables importing and exporting macros, forms and classes, comes in handy.
Exporting
In order to export files, select the required item and choose Export File (Fig. 1), either from the right-click context menu, or the File menu. After that, select the location to save the file.

Importing
In order to import a file into a Visual Basic project, right-click the project's explorer's window, and select Import File (Fig. 2), or select from File \ Import File menu. In the new window open the element you want to import.
