macros a thing of the past?
The Access 2003 For Dummies big book says at the beginning of its
section on macros that macros were being phased out (in Office 2003), and everyone should just learn VBA instead. Was that a trend that was later thought better of, or were the authors misinformed, or is it really being implemented? |

macros a thing of the past?
I don't know what plans there may be for Macros in Access. If I were you I
would ask in an Access Newsgroup - this one's for Word. In Word, Macros _are_ VBA; in Access, they are something different. -- Enjoy, Tony "grammatim" wrote in message ...

In Access, macros are different than they are in the other Office
applications. In other Office apps the term "macro" is used to refer to a VBA procedure -- they don't use a Macro Builder like you see in Access, it's all VBA. In regards to macros in Access 2007, new features have been added to the Macro object such as error handling, debugging, variables, and they can now be embedded in other objects. Doesn't seem like they're being phased out to me. :-) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Beth Melton Microsoft Office MVP https://mvp.support.microsoft.com/profile/Melton What is a Microsoft MVP? http://mvp.support.microsoft.com/gp/mvpfaqs "grammatim" wrote in message ...

I would agree that for any serious application, there should be no need to
use macros and they should be avoided. -- Hope this helps. Please reply to the newsgroup unless you wish to avail yourself of my services on a paid consulting basis.
