Designing for Users

A Report is a snapshot, at best, of the data.

 

A Command button can open the Movie Search Form so that Users can look up the answer. The Command Button in this example will use a Macro to open the MovieSearch Form. We will also format the Command Button with Quick Styles.

 

1. Try it: Create a Macro

Go to Create ->Macros and Code->Macro.

 

What Do You See? The Macro Window should open. The Action Catalog is on the left. It lists many things you can program:

Data Entry Operations

Data Import/Export

Database Objects

Filter Query Search

Macro Commands

System Commands

User Interface Commands

Windows Management

 

Keep going...
