    Macro Creation


    I have my report built and is tied to a query. Some background on this: I need to send out approval reports to supervisors for telecom bills. The query is built so that no criteria is specified in the Approver field.

    I want to build a macro that will process all approvers, one at a time, and generate reports to the snapshot viewer.

    I am pretty new to access and I am not familiar with VB or XML coding. I have the macro built for the first record, but I don't know how to "do until end" type scenario.

    Can this be done using the macro actions and not writing code? I am on Access 2003.

    I do not think it is possible to do it with just macros in Access 2003.

    Macros are very limited in error handling. For this type of task, I do believe that VBA code would be best.

    Will you consider using VBA code?
