Microsoft Access Part 1 Introduction to Macro concepts 7 Factory Access Macros Introduction to Macro Programming  Two ways of “programming” a task in Access – Macros – Visual Basic for Applications (VBA)  We will cover Macros primarily  We will also take a look at control wizards which do use VBA  We do have two Access VBA courses you can take 8 Access Macros Factory
Types of Macros  Standalone  Data  Embedded 9 Access Macros Factory Introduction to Macro Programming  Macros are not coded – they are designed using a Macro Designer  They run in response to an “event” – like when a form launches or the user clicks on a button 10 Access Macros Factory
Some Common Events  Common button event – “On Click”  Common form events – On Load – On Activate – On Current (record) – On insert/update/delete (records) – On Close 11 Access Macros Factory Introduction to Macros  Elements of Macros – Actions – what the macro does – Action arguments – control the specifics of the action – Name – Allows you to store multiple macros within a single macro “object” – Conditions – circumstance under which the macro “fires” 12 Access Macros Factory
Typical Actions  Apply Filter  Cancel event  Go to control/record  Minimize/Maximize  Open form/report/query  Set value  Select object  Transfer spreadsheet  Transfer text 13 Access Macros Factory Macro Design Grid 14 Access Macros Factory
Introduction to Macros – Actions & Arguments  Create and run a simple macro, mcrFirst, to become familiar with the concepts – Action = msgbox – Arguments:  “Hello, Macro”  information type  title = “My First Macro” 15 Access Macros Factory Designing the First Macro 16 Access Macros Factory
Designing the First Macro 17 Access Macros Factory My First Macro 18 Access Macros Factory
Design | Macro Tools 19 Access Macros Factory Comments  Use the comment action to comment your macros  Always a good idea 20 Access Macros Factory
Submacros  Same idea as a programming subroutine  Used to store common actions that are used repeatedly  Submacros are NOT run unless you call them by name  You call them with programming “dot notation”… Macroname.submacroname 21 Access Macros Factory Submacros 22 Access Macros Factory
Groups  Another way to create subroutines or blocks of macros (submacros)  Hold over from 2007 which we won’t use in the course 23 Access Macros Factory Conditional Macros (If)  Use if to create a macro that runs only when certain conditions are met 24 Access Macros Factory
Microsoft Access Part 2 Form concepts 25 Factory Access Macros Form Events  Forms and controls have “events”  These “fire” on certain actions. Examples: – Click a button (onclick event) – Before table is updated (beforeupdate event) – After table is updated (afterupdate event) – Etc. 26 Access Macros Factory
Form Events (cont’d)  When an event “fires” can execute: – VBA Code – Macro  This provides a method for “running” an application  Macros will appear in the event drop down list 27 Access Macros Factory Event List with Macros 28 Access Macros Factory
Microsoft Access Part 3 Building a macro Group 29 Factory Access Macros Building a Macro Group  We will build a series of submacros in a macro. – Open report – Open report with filter – Open report with filter conditionally  These will be run from a form with a button using the OnClick event of the button. 30 Access Macros Factory
Open Report Macro  Design a simple macro to open (run) a report for the displayed form record  Use rptWork_OrdersFull  Give this macro the name work_Orders Report  Save the “group” as mcrReports Note: it won’t run right just yet – still has all records 31 Access Macros Factory Designing The Open Report Macro 32 Access Macros Factory
Invoking the macro  Add a command button to the form  Bring up properties sheet, events tab  Click the drop down for the On Click Event  Select your macro  That’s it! 33 Access Macros Factory Use Onclick Event to “Fire” the Macro 34 Access Macros Factory
Select Macro 35 Access Macros Factory Invoking the macro  Open the frmWork_OrdersFinal form in design mode – Add a command button to the form with control wizard off – Bring up properties sheet, events tab – Click the drop down for the On Click Event – Select your macro – That’s it!  Save as frmWork_OrdersMacro (instructor may use AMP110 or other suffix for this class) 36 Access Macros Factory
Adding Where Conditions to a Macro  Use action argument where  Create a filter like the where clause of an SQL statement 37 Access Macros Factory Using the Expression Builder for the Where Condition 38 Access Macros Factory
Where Condition (in Zoom Window) 39 Access Macros Factory Macros - Adding a where clause  Open mcrOpenReport in design mode  Add a where criteria to preview only the work order on the screen. Put this in a new submacro.  Click to right of where in macro property sheet  Use the builder to get name of form text control, etc. Your expression will look like this: – [wono]=[Forms]![frmWork_OrdersMacro]! [Wono]  Save the macro under the same name (instructor may use a slightly different name) 40 Access Macros Factory
Invoke the macro  Open the frmWork_OrderMacro in design mode  Update the preview button to use the new submacro  Observe that the form only prints detail for the work order selected in the form! 41 Access Macros Factory Macro Group w/ where Macro added 42 Access Macros Factory
More on Macros  Macros can be invoked depending on “condition” – Uses an if macro – Macro will run if and only if condition is true  Macros can be run one after another like a “program”. Example: – Do a maketable query , then an append query from a different file. I.E different downloads from an ERP system 43 Access Macros Factory Conditional Macros  Modify your mcrOpenReport to check for a missing work order number before doing a report  Add a new action like the mcrFirst to print “Please select a work order number”  Add a condition to each to check to see if wono is null  Use the builder if desired  Name submacro OpenReport_Condition  Save macro group with same name 44 Access Macros Factory
Using the Builder to Create a Macro Condition 45 Access Macros Factory Invoking the Conditional Macro  Modify the form frmWorkOrders_Macro to run the new macro  Save as frmWorkOrders_MacroFinal  Test your new form and macro 46 Access Macros Factory
Macro Group with new conditional macro 47 Access Macros Factory Adding Commands to a Macro  Move focus on form back to wono when an error occurs  Add a go to control action  Save your macro as mcrOpen_Report_Final 48 Access Macros Factory
Final Submacro in Design Mode 49 Access Macros Factory Macro Messages  Often want to suppress messages when running a macro – Set warnings off – Echo off 50 Access Macros Factory
Microsoft Access Part 4 Custom key Assignments 51 Factory Access Macros Custom Key Assignments  Can customize keyboard shortcuts in two ways: – Access keys – Key Assignment macros 52 Access Macros Factory
Access Keys (Hot Keys) 53 Access Macros Factory Custom Key Assignments  Access has many built-in keyboard shortcuts: CTRL-G to open Debug Window, F11 to display Database Window, etc. See Help.  Can also create your own using macros – we will cover this in module 2 54 Access Macros Factory

  • 10.
    Types of Macros  Standalone  Data  Embedded 9 Access Macros Factory Introduction to Macro Programming  Macros are not coded – they are designed using a Macro Designer  They run in response to an “event” – like when a form launches or the user clicks on a button 10 Access Macros Factory
  • 11.
    Some Common Events  Common button event – “On Click”  Common form events – On Load – On Activate – On Current (record) – On insert/update/delete (records) – On Close 11 Access Macros Factory Introduction to Macros  Elements of Macros – Actions – what the macro does – Action arguments – control the specifics of the action – Name – Allows you to store multiple macros within a single macro “object” – Conditions – circumstance under which the macro “fires” 12 Access Macros Factory
  • 12.
    Typical Actions  Apply Filter  Cancel event  Go to control/record  Minimize/Maximize  Open form/report/query  Set value  Select object  Transfer spreadsheet  Transfer text 13 Access Macros Factory Macro Design Grid 14 Access Macros Factory
  • 13.
    Introduction to Macros– Actions & Arguments  Create and run a simple macro, mcrFirst, to become familiar with the concepts – Action = msgbox – Arguments:  “Hello, Macro”  information type  title = “My First Macro” 15 Access Macros Factory Designing the First Macro 16 Access Macros Factory

  • 16.
    Submacros  Same idea as a programming subroutine  Used to store common actions that are used repeatedly  Submacros are NOT run unless you call them by name  You call them with programming “dot notation”… Macroname.submacroname 21 Access Macros Factory Submacros 22 Access Macros Factory
  • 17.
    Groups  Another way to create subroutines or blocks of macros (submacros)  Hold over from 2007 which we won’t use in the course 23 Access Macros Factory Conditional Macros (If)  Use if to create a macro that runs only when certain conditions are met 24 Access Macros Factory
  • 18.
    Microsoft Access Part 2 Form concepts 25 Factory Access Macros Form Events  Forms and controls have “events”  These “fire” on certain actions. Examples: – Click a button (onclick event) – Before table is updated (beforeupdate event) – After table is updated (afterupdate event) – Etc. 26 Access Macros Factory
  • 19.
    Form Events (cont’d)  When an event “fires” can execute: – VBA Code – Macro  This provides a method for “running” an application  Macros will appear in the event drop down list 27 Access Macros Factory Event List with Macros 28 Access Macros Factory
  • 20.
    Microsoft Access Part 3 Building a macro Group 29 Factory Access Macros Building a Macro Group  We will build a series of submacros in a macro. – Open report – Open report with filter – Open report with filter conditionally  These will be run from a form with a button using the OnClick event of the button. 30 Access Macros Factory
  • 21.
    Open Report Macro  Design a simple macro to open (run) a report for the displayed form record  Use rptWork_OrdersFull  Give this macro the name work_Orders Report  Save the “group” as mcrReports Note: it won’t run right just yet – still has all records 31 Access Macros Factory Designing The Open Report Macro 32 Access Macros Factory
  • 22.
    Invoking the macro  Add a command button to the form  Bring up properties sheet, events tab  Click the drop down for the On Click Event  Select your macro  That’s it! 33 Access Macros Factory Use Onclick Event to “Fire” the Macro 34 Access Macros Factory
  • 23.
    Select Macro 35 Access Macros Factory Invoking the macro  Open the frmWork_OrdersFinal form in design mode – Add a command button to the form with control wizard off – Bring up properties sheet, events tab – Click the drop down for the On Click Event – Select your macro – That’s it!  Save as frmWork_OrdersMacro (instructor may use AMP110 or other suffix for this class) 36 Access Macros Factory
  • 24.
    Adding Where Conditionsto a Macro  Use action argument where  Create a filter like the where clause of an SQL statement 37 Access Macros Factory Using the Expression Builder for the Where Condition 38 Access Macros Factory
  • 25.
    Where Condition (inZoom Window) 39 Access Macros Factory Macros - Adding a where clause  Open mcrOpenReport in design mode  Add a where criteria to preview only the work order on the screen. Put this in a new submacro.  Click to right of where in macro property sheet  Use the builder to get name of form text control, etc. Your expression will look like this: – [wono]=[Forms]![frmWork_OrdersMacro]! [Wono]  Save the macro under the same name (instructor may use a slightly different name) 40 Access Macros Factory
  • 26.
    Invoke the macro  Open the frmWork_OrderMacro in design mode  Update the preview button to use the new submacro  Observe that the form only prints detail for the work order selected in the form! 41 Access Macros Factory Macro Group w/ where Macro added 42 Access Macros Factory
  • 27.
    More on Macros  Macros can be invoked depending on “condition” – Uses an if macro – Macro will run if and only if condition is true  Macros can be run one after another like a “program”. Example: – Do a maketable query , then an append query from a different file. I.E different downloads from an ERP system 43 Access Macros Factory Conditional Macros  Modify your mcrOpenReport to check for a missing work order number before doing a report  Add a new action like the mcrFirst to print “Please select a work order number”  Add a condition to each to check to see if wono is null  Use the builder if desired  Name submacro OpenReport_Condition  Save macro group with same name 44 Access Macros Factory
