Join Curt Frye for an in-depth discussion in this video Introducing Access Automation, part of Access: VBA.
Microsoft Access is a powerful program.…One of its most useful aspects is the built-in flexibility to customize the…program using macros, data macros, and Visual Basic for Applications.…In this movie, I'll describe how you can use each of those capabilities to…enhance your Access databases.…Macros are a series of steps that you can have Access replay automatically.…For example, in this database I have the Open Products Report macro, which is…here in the Navigation pane.…If I right-click the macro and click Design view, you can see the steps, or in…this case the single step, in the macro.…
What this macro, which is named Open Products Report, does is to implement the…OpenReport method, and then it opens the report named Products Report, and that…Product Report is here in the Navigation pane.…With the macro open, if I click Run, Access runs the code and displays…the Products Report.…I will go ahead and close the Products Report by pressing Ctrl+W and do the same…for the Open Products Report macro, pressing Ctrl+W again.…
