The RunMacro method carries out the RunMacro action in Visual Basic. For more information on how the action and its arguments work, see the action topic.
Syntax
DoCmd.RunMacro macroname[, repeatcount][, repeatexpression]
The RunMacro method has the following arguments.
| Argument | Description |
|---|---|
| macroname | 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 | A numeric expression that evaluates to an integer, which is the number of times the macro will run. |
| repeatexpression | A numeric expression that's evaluated each time the macro runs. When it evaluates to False (0), the macro stops running. |
Remarks
You can 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 you specify.
