    Converting Macros To VBA in 2013 Office


    I was trying to convert macros but can't click on the option in the toolbar. It's inactive and greyed out. How do you activate this to click on it?

    Do you have a form open in Design view?

    Yes I do. That's so I can get to the event property for the macro I wish to convert. Let me try another way. Thanks for the heads up.

    Ok how do I get to the macro I want to convert without going into design view for a form?

    Ok I figured it out but now when I click the convert form's macros to visual basic button on the toolbar, I get a message saying:

    Application-defined or object-defined error

    Why is this happening?

    AFAIK you would need to convert *all* of the macros in the form. Does your application compile?

    AFAIK - As Far As I Know... Compile = ^G>Debug>Compile
