AllMacros Collection

The AllMacros collection contains an AccessObject for each macro in the CurrentProject or CodeProject object.

Using the AllMacros Collection

The CurrentProject or CodeProject object has an AllMacros collection containing AccessObject objects that describe instances of all the macros specified by CurrentProject or CodeProject. For example, you can enumerate the AllMacros collection in Visual Basic to set or return the values of properties of individual AccessObject objects in the collection.

Tip

You can refer to an individual AccessObject object in the AllMacros collection either by referring to the object by name, or by referring to its index within the collection. If you want to refer to a specific object in the AllMacros collection, it's better to refer to the macro by name because a macro's collection index may change.

The AllMacros collection is indexed beginning with zero. If you refer to a macro by its index, the first macro is AllMacros(0), the second macro is AllMacros(1), and so on.

Note   To list all open macros in the database, use the IsLoaded property of each AccessObject object in the AllMacros collection. You can then use the Name property of each individual AccessObject object to return the name of a macro.

You can't add or delete an AccessObject object from the AllMacros collection.

The following example prints the name of each open AccessObject object in the AllMacros collection.

Sub AllMacros()
    Dim obj As AccessObject, dbs As Object
    Set dbs = Application.CurrentProject
    ' Search for open AccessObject objects in AllMacros collection.
    For Each obj In dbs.AllMacros
        If obj.IsLoaded = True Then
            ' Print name of obj.
            Debug.Print obj.Name
        End If
    Next obj
End Sub
