Is there a way to run a macro using VBA?

beacon
579 Contributor
Hi,

I'm using Access 2003 and I would like to be able to prompt the user to close Access altogether from a vbyesnocancel button, but the only way I'm aware of is to use the close macro.

Is there a way to run this macro using VBA? If not, is there a way to close the entire database with VBA, depending on the user's input?

It probably won't help anything, but here's a snippet of where I'm at:
[code]
Public Sub cmdCancel_Click ()
Dim CanVal As Integer
DoCmd.Close acForm, Me.Name
CanVal = MsgBox("Would you like to begin the assessment over?", vbQuestion + vbYesNoCancel)
If CanVal = vbYes Then
DoCmd.OpenForm "Switchboar d"
ElseIf CanVal = vbNo Then


End Sub

Any help, as always, will be greatly appreciated.

Wow...I feel dumb. I have a book written by Microsoft Press and it doesn't make much mention, if any at all, about using code to initiate macros.

Thanks again for your help.

About the only thing Micro$oft Press does is make Brother Bill richer! Almost any other reference text is going to be better than anything from them! To be fair, though, few books make a lot of reference to macros, because with two exceptions (macros named Autoexec and AutoKeys) very few developers use them. Also, VBA and Access is so incredibly complex that few texts cover everything!

Here's a proposed Q&A for the FAQ based on a couple recent threads. Appropriate comments appreciated X.Y: Why doesn't Python have macros like in Lisp or Scheme? Before answering that, a clarification on what 'macro' means. A Lisp macro is a way of modifying code when that code is first defined. It can rearrange the structure of the code, and add and remove parts of it. Unlike C's #define macro language, Lisp macros understand the...

Using a macro, can I change what type an object is being cast to? I know, the initial respone to question might be an instinctive "ugly, don't even think about it!" or "don't use macros at all", but I still would like to know because I am trying to encapsulate a third-party C-based callback-oriented gui toolkit inside C++ classes and I would like to try something. So say you have: long some_address = some_valid_address;

Consider this macro // check if x, assumed of type unsigned char, is in range #define ISVALID(x) ((x)>=0x20 && (x)<=0x7E) Of course, this can't be safely used as in if (ISVALID(*p++)) foo(); where p is a pointer ot unsigned char.

Although some users find Macros simple and easy to use, there are some major limitations to using them. Although you can use macros to perform tasks, there is limited control on when and how those tasks should be performed, and setting conditions can be difficult. There is however, another even stronger reason not to use macros and that is that when errors are thrown during a macro's execution it is difficult to trap the error and therefore...
