			   If Not vbcomp Is Nothing Then
				   If vbcomp.CodeModule = "modLogic" Then
					   For i = 1 To vbcomp.CodeModule.CountOfLines
						  newMacro = vbcomp.CodeModule.ProcOfLine(Line:=i, _
							 prockind:=vbext_pk_Proc)

						  If curMacro <> newMacro Then
							 curMacro = newMacro

							   If curMacro <> "" And curMacro <> "Sort_DataMacro" Then
