 Posted: Tue Jan 23, 2007 7:26 am Post subject: Macro attached to the database |
 |
|
Hello everybody!
When I copy my database from one computer to another, the macros don't copy.
I mean, they are not attached to the database file itself.
Can you please help me how to make the database(all forms, queries and the data itself) ONE with the macros, so that I can distribute everything in one file to my partners.
Thank you! |

IIRC, a database cannot have a macro library, so your macros are probably in macro libraries, listed under "My Macros" in the macros organiser.
I think you will have to copy the files containing your macros as well as the database itself. You will find them in the "Basic" folder of your user settings folder. Copying the whole Basic folder would make all macros in "My Macros" standard.
There is a post on distributing macros in the Help sticky in Macros & API. If you want your thread transferred there, send a pm to me or one of the other moderators.

hello,
you cannot save macros in the .odb document, but you can save them in an embedded form, which will follow with the .odb file.

You can create library in MyMacros for your database where you write and use all your macros. It is easy to export the whole library as one .oxt file. Then you can append it to your libraries on another computer. I use library "lefa" for my lefa.odb database. And for each database I have it s own library.
