Function CheckModuleType(strModuleName As String) As Integer
    Dim mdl As Module

    ' Open module to include in Modules collection.
    DoCmd.OpenModule strModuleName
    ' Return reference to Module object.
    Set mdl = Modules(strModuleName)
    ' Check Type property.
    If mdl.Type = acClassModule Then
        ' Insert comment.
        mdl.InsertLines 1, "' Class module."
        CheckModuleType = acClassModule
    Else
        ' Insert comment.
        mdl.InsertLines 1, "' Standard module."
        CheckModuleType = acStandardModule
    End If
