Macros in Access can be considered like a simplified programming language that can be used to increase the functionality of the data base. For example, it
can enclose a macro to a command button in a form, so the macro is executed when clicking in the button. The macros contain actions that make tasks, like
opening a report, executing a query or to close the data base. Almost all the operations of data bases that normally are made manually can automate by means
of macros, thus saving time. |

Modules, like macros, are objects that serve to increase the functionality of the data base. Whereas the macros in Access are created selecting actions of
a list, the modules are written in the Visual BASIC programming language for Applications (VBA), a version of the language of macros of Visual Microsoft
BASIC who is used to program applications based on Microsoft Windows and who is included in several programs of Microsoft. A module is a collection of
declarations, instructions and procedures that are stored jointly like a unit. There are two kinds of modules: standard modules and class modules. The
class modules are joined to forms or reports, and normally they contain specific procedures of the form or the report to which they are enclosed. The
standard modules contain general procedures that are not associated to any other object. |
