Lisa Dosch, Motion Picture Editors Guild - Local 700
Alison Balter at MS Access Solutions developed the application that helps us to properly service all of our members. This program handles billing, payments, tracking of jobs worked, available list, and other important data about our members. The system automates many tasks that were previously performed manually, allowing our employees to more cost-effectively use their time. This client/server system is used by employees in our Tacoma WA and New York offices. MS Access Solutions and their staff worked with us to develop the necessary specifications and design documents, and then programmed, tested, and implemented the application throughout our organization.

Using the DoCmd Object
Most macro commands can be performed in VBA code by using the DoCmd object. The macro action becomes a method of the DoCmd object, and the arguments associated with each macro action become the arguments of the method. For example, the following method of the DoCmd object is used to open a form: DoCmd.OpenForm "frmClients", acNormal, "", "[tblClients]![IntroDate]>Date()-30", _ acEdit, acNormal
The OpenForm method of the DoCmd object that opens the form appears as the first argument to the method. The second argument indicates the view in which the form is opened. The third and fourth arguments specify a filter and Where condition, respectively. The fifth argument of the OpenForm method specifies the Data mode for the form (Add, Edit, or Read Only). The sixth argument indicates the Window mode (Normal, Hidden, Minimized, or Dialog).
Notice the intrinsic constants used for the OpenForm arguments; they help make the code more readable. You can find them in the Help for each DoCmd method.
Practical Examples: Adding an AutoExec Macro to the Time and Billing Application
In Chapter 10, "Advanced Form Techniques," you will learn how to add a switchboard to your application. For now, you'll build an AutoExec macro that acts as the launching point for your application. The macro will start the application by hiding the Navigation Pane, displaying a message to the user, and opening the frmClients form.
Build the macro shown in Figure 7.28. Start by opening a new macro in Design view. Set the first action of the macro to RunCommand and then set the DatabaseCommand argument to WindowHide. This will hide the Navigation Pane when it's run. Set the second action of the macro to MsgBox and set the message to Welcome to the Client Billing Application. Set Beep to No, the Type to Information, and the Title to Welcome. The final action of the macro opens the frmClients form. Set the action to OpenForm and set the FormName to frmClients. Leave the rest of the arguments at their default values.
Close and reopen the database. The AutoExec macro should automatically execute when the database is opened. Close the database and open it again, holding down the Shift key to prevent the macro from executing.
Summary
Many end users try to develop entire applications by using macros. Although this is possible, you will generally want to use a combination of macros and modules to build your applications.
New to Microsoft Office Access 2007 are embedded macros. You associate these macros with a specific event. Also new to Microsoft Office Access 2007 are the capability to add error handling to a macro and the capability to include variables in a macro. These three new features make macros a much more viable choice for application development.
