Avoiding a Macro

Macros help us automate many redundant procedures, but on occasion you need to ignore them. When this is the case, you can in effect turn off the macro until you're ready to use it again. To do so, open the macro window and enter the value

False

in the Conditions column. Save and close the macro and return to your work.

When Access encounters the command to execute that macro, it appears to ignore the request. Actually, Access is running the macro, but it's interpreting the False value, which means the same as doing nothing. When you're ready to use the macro again, open the macro window and delete the False value. Remember to save this last change.
