[AccessD] VBA question

It's really a matter of where you are coming from.  If you are talking about
code within the VBE, then macro is an incorrect term, because you are using
functions and subs.  However, if you are talking about the Excel GUI, then
macro IS the correct term, when you are referring to a sub that the Excel
user can use.

I know the word is a hold over from earlier Basic versions, but I wouldn't
use the term macro to describe a VBA procedure, whether it's a sub or
function -- is there something else in Word and Excel? I'm not familiar with
the structure if there is.

I know the Excel expert at Cobb continued to use the term for eons after VBA
and the VBE showed up. I argued with him on occasion. We produced a VBA
product together and we had a lot of trouble trying to use consistent
language. :)
