Using Visual Basic and Macros
Because she was a programmer before
her assignment as a systems analyst, Becky
wanted to know if they would be using
Visual Basic as a program development
language. Jane told her that they would
write many of the procedures in Visual
Basic because it allows more powerful data
manipulation than macros and makes it
easier to customize error messages. They
would use macros, however, to speed up
the development process and handle simple
tasks such as opening and closing
forms and running reports.
