The RunCommand method runs a built-in menu or toolbar command.
Syntax
[object.]RunCommand command
The RunCommand method has the following arguments.
| Argument | Description |
|---|---|
| object | Optional. The Application object or the DoCmd object. |
| command | An intrinsic constant that specifies which built-in menu or toolbar command is to be run. |
Remarks
Each menu and toolbar command in Microsoft Access has an associated constant that you can use with the RunCommand method to run that command from Visual Basic.
For a list of possible constants for the command argument, see RunCommand Method Constants. You can also view these constants in the Object Browser. Select Access in the Project/Library box, then select AcCommand in the Classes list. The constants appear in the Members Of list.
You can't use the RunCommand method to run a command on a custom menu or toolbar. You can only use it with built-in menus and toolbars.
The RunCommand method replaces the DoMenuItem method of the DoCmd object.
