What are macros in Access?

RE: What are macros in Access?

Hi Everald,

Thank you for your question.

A macro is used to automate common tasks you need to perform on a regular basis.

Macros consist of an action or set of actions which perform particular operations. You can create a macro to print a report which would include actions such as Open Report followed by Print.

I hope this answers your question.

Regards

Simon

Access tip:

How To Find All Overdue Accounts?

To find overdue accounts create a filter that compares today's date with the Invoice Date in the table. To do this:

1. Open the Query in Design View
2. Select the field for the filter and in the criteria row enter:

<Date()

This filter returns records where the Invoice Date is before today's date.

This filter can be manipulated if, for instance, Invoices are due 15 days after the Invoice Date. For this the filter would be:

<Date()-15

This filter returns records where the Invoice Date is 15 days before today's date.
