Faced with over 100 Word VBA macros and a request for information about which macros call a certain webservice. How do you get that information without going insane? With a lot of python, some Windows black magic, and a couple of open Microsoft “standards”.
Recently a team came to me to ask if it was possible to figure out who called one of our old applications. The application is a horrible pain for the team maintaining it, and they’d like to shut it down. Not least because it’s basically impossible to build. They had traced down a lot of applications already, but they were stuck on a folder brimming with Word VBA macros. From experience, they knew some of them called this application, but which?
