An Access Macro is not the same as a macro in Word or Excel or Powerpoint. In access its more recording an action. In WOrd and Excel and Powerpoint its writing code - VBA code. Thus its a good way to learn the model for those apps. Now how they actually work in Access, I think all they do is actuallyc arry out a menu command. They dont have the power of a Word Macro for example. Teh one I posted opens a document located in the file system. If I had wanted to I could have then applied styles etc to that doc and then the appropriate code would be created. Dont think an Access Macro will do that. Martin
