What are the main uses of Macros in Access and once you have learnt how to use VBA, do you need to use them again?

RE: VBA

Hi Chloe

Thank you for your question

Macros allow the developer to build a simple set of automated steps, thus improving the efficiency of a database application.

Once a developer is competent in VBA however Macros have very little utility. They cannot carry out the range of methods available in VBA and in general run a lot slower than the corresponding VBA code
Regards

Access tip:

Switchboard Startup

An option when you open your Access database that contains all of you tables, forms and queries is only the switchboard is displayed.

To achieve this, select Tools click on Startup. On the right hand side of the Startup screen you are able to select which form you want to open when you open you Access Database. Once you have selected this, there is a check box just below that says "Display Database Window", you need to uncheck this option. Then click ok.

Then when you close you Access database and re open it, the database should open with just the switchboard being shown
