[mso] Re: Access - Expression in Macro Argument (Disregard)

I was unaware until recently you can convert macros to visual basic by
going to form/design, add the desired macro to click property of text box
or button, choose tools/macro/convert form's macros to visual basic.  Once
it's converted you can look at the code in the event procedure and
copy/paste/modify as needed.  Now I often create macros just to convert
them and find out the code behind them, the convert function has added
flexibility to working with forms.  For me, it's worth the conversion
process even if I end up blowing away the button and original code on the
form.  hth, Cathy

er... what did you find Peter?

I found that sometimes I'm really stupid! (sometimes) LOL.

I had a macro action that was crashing BEFORE the one I thought was =
crashing. As a result, I kept adjusting the one I thought was faulty but =
was not. (I was in a loop for 4 hours. It ruined my whole day)

That's the problem with macros... hard to debug.

I wish I were younger; I'd go to school and learn how to code. I am so =
jealous of those code dweebs, you have no idea. I want to choke them.

Using a Macro to change the record source of a form.

Action: SetValue


The correct syntax:

Item: [Forms]![AnyForm].[RecordSource]
Expression: "[AnyTable]"

I did this many times to change the record source to a report, but only =
a few times for a form.
Instead of writing 10,000 different reports, you can simply use the same =
report and just change the record source. (if need be)


More Later.
