Tool to compare object in one database with the same object in another database
I would like to compare a form in a backup database to the same form in my current database. It is very difficult to use the properties to find differences.
You can use Application.SaveAsText (it's a hidden method) to save the form in each database to a text file.
Then use your favorite Text Comparison tool. I use WinMerge.

The latest post in the Microsoft Access team blog reports the discontinuation of the Microsoft tool Database Compare. This isn't good news for your task. ;-) However, in this article they also link to four third-party tools (as examples) that can perform such comparisons.
