+# Application.LoadFromText
+
+**Applies to**: Access 2024, Access 2019
+
+The Application.LoadFromText is a method used to import database objects (like forms, reports, queries, etc.) from a text file into an Access database. This is often paired with [Application.SaveAsText](application-save-as-text.md), which exports database objects to text files. These methods are particularly useful for version control, backups, or transferring objects between databases.
+
+## Syntax
+
+Application.LoadFromText _ObjectType_, _ObjectName_, _FileName_
+
+## Parameters
+
+|Parameter|Description|
+|:--------|:-----------|
+|_ObjectType_|The type of object (e.g., acForm, acReport, acQuery, etc.).|
+|_ObjectName_|The name of the object to be imported.|
+|_FileName_|The full path to the text file containing the object definition.|
+
+## Example
+
+Here’s how you can import a form that was saved as a text file.
+
+```vba
+Application.LoadFromText acForm, "MyForm", "C:\Backup\MyForm.txt"
+```
+
+## Remarks
+
+Be cautious when using LoadFromText with complex queries involving subqueries, as it may occasionally result in corrupted queries. This method is unsupported but widely used by developers for advanced tasks like version control or automated deployments.

+# Application.SaveAsText
+
+**Applies to**: Access 2024, Access 2019
+
+The Application.SaveAsText method in Microsoft Access allows you to export database objects (like forms, reports, macros, modules, or queries) into a text file. This can be useful for version control, debugging, or transferring objects between databases.
+
+## Syntax
+
+Application.SaveAsText _ObjectType_, _ObjectName_, _FileName_
+
+## Parameters
+
+|Parameter|Description|
+|:--------|:-----------|
+|_ObjectType_|The type of object you want to export (e.g., acForm, acReport, acQuery, etc.).|
+|_ObjectName_|The name of the object you want to export.|
+|_FileName_|The full path and name of the text file where the object will be saved.|
+
+## Example
+
+Here’s how you can save a form named "MyForm" to a text file:
+
+```vba
+Application.SaveAsText acForm, "MyForm", "C:\Exports\MyForm.txt"
+```
+
+## Remarks
+
+The exported text file contains all the properties and definitions of the object. You can later use the Application.LoadFromText method to import the object back into a database. This method is particularly useful for developers who want to integrate Access objects into version control systems or share objects in a readable format.
