Is there a real reason not to?   I've heard some macrophobic language on the
list but don't really know if it's because macros are kind of 'old school',
not the moderne technique, or if there's a good reason not to use them.  

I read here also that they've been kind of rehabilitated in A2K7 to the
dismay of some.

Interesting question Rocky.

Macros serve their purpose, but if it can be done in code just as easily,
there is no real reason to use a Macro.

General question on macros:   why have they fallen into disfavor?  

I had an opportunity to fill in as a teacher of an advanced Access course
and a lot of the course was on macros which I never use.  Got a legacy
2007
app to work with last month and it was full of macros.

Macros:  good or bad?  

TIA
