Action Arguments

Enter an action in this column.

FIGURE 6-17

41. Note that the design window for the Macro has two columns. The first column
is for the Action. An Action is the foundation of a Macro. The Action is the instruction; it
can be combined with other Actions to automate tasks. The second column is a Comment
field, similar to the Description field in the Tables object.

42. Type Echo in the first Action field and "Hide the results of the macro while it
runs" in the Comment field. This has the effect of hiding the macro so the user is unaware
of its movements.

43. Type GoToRecord in the second Action field and "Move to the next record" in
the second Comment field. This has the effect of taking the user to the next record. Notice
that the lower portion of the window changes at this point. The Action Arguments default
makes the specified record the Next record.
44. Type GoToControl in the third Action field and "Move the focus to the first
field, Employee No" in the Comment fi·e~d. Type EmployeeNo in the Control Name field
in the Action Arguments portion of the window. This tells the Macro where to go when it
moves to the next record.
45. Close and save the Macro as Next Record.
46. Restore the Employee Form that you minimized. Right-click on the Command
button and click on Properties. Click on the Event tab. Pull-down the menu next to the On
Click property and change the selection to the newly created macro, Next Record.
