[AccessD] VBA question

I always looked at macros as "user recorded actions". The only problem with that
is, how do you record user actions in Access? I think Access uses the term
"Macro" incorrectly. A "Macro" in Access should be called a "Script". Just my
two cents.

Drew, I was thinking along similar lines this morning, but came up with -- a
macro is something the user executes on purpose, whereas VBA procedures are
executed programmatically -- either through event or some other procedure
call. How's that?
