Hi,

I have been working with Access at home on my computer for quite some time now (I have Access 2000). My question is this, is it advisable to create a Queries Dialog Box form that wil serve as the list of queries that can be accessed with the help of Visual Basic for Applications code? Are there other ways to open queries without using macros?

Hi Ben. You can run a query in an Eventprocedure using the following code:

Dim strDoc as String

strDoc = "<Place the Name of your query in here>"
DoCmd.OpenQuery stDocName, acNormal, acEdit

I hope this helps. Also, if you title all your queries with the prefix of "qry", your tables with "tbl", modules with "mod", macros with "mac" and reports with "rpt", you will be able to manage large amounts of objects in a database more successfully.

Are you really still using Macros at all?

And you can create a form within Access to list all your queries and give users the option of selecting one and opening it. But this is better with VBA.

Are you using VBA at all, or just macros? There is an Access VBA forum here.
