The RunMacro method carries out the RunMacro action in Visual Basic.
expression.RunMacro (MacroName, RepeatCount, RepeatExpression)
expression A variable that represents a DoCmd object.
| Name | Required/Optional | Data type | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| MacroName | Required | Variant | A string expression that's the valid name of a macro in the current database. If you run Visual Basic code containing the RunMacro method in a library database, Microsoft Access looks for the macro with this name in the library database and doesn't look for it in the current database. |
| RepeatCount | Optional | Variant | A numeric expression that evaluates to an integer, which is the number of times the macro will run. |
| RepeatExpression | Optional | Variant | A numeric expression that's evaluated each time the macro runs. When it evaluates to False (0), the macro stops running. |
Use the RunMacro method to run a macro.
Use MacroGroupName.MacroName syntax for the MacroName argument to run a particular macro in a macro group.
If you specify the RepeatExpression argument and leave the RepeatCount argument blank, you must include the RepeatCount argument's comma. If you leave a trailing argument blank, don't use a comma following the last argument that you specify.
The following example runs the macro Print Sales that will print the sales report twice.
DoCmd.RunMacro "Print Sales", 2
