Cannot run module in macro

[JACKGUNAWAN via AccessMonster.com]

Hi,

I have a module of :
Public Sub DELETES()
Kill "C:\export\*.*"
End Sub

I try to run in macro with runcode however in the function name, the macro
cannot paste it in the expression builder. Please guide. Thank you.

Macros cannto run subs, but they can run a function. Change Public Sub to
Public Function instead (it need not return a value, that should be the only
thing you have to find).

This is true also when trying to reference functions from object
properties/queries, etc. Only functions, not subs.

Also, when you put the function name parameter in the Macro you must put
parentheses after it!

Hi Jack,

Thank for the guide.

My code is now:
Public Function DEL()

Kill "C:\export\*.*"

End Function


However when I run in macro, a message box came "The expression you entered
has a function name that access can't find" and I can't run the macro. thanks

Per Jim's suggestion, have you included the parentheses at the end in the
macro?

Also, this function must reside in a standard module, not in a form or
report module. If this is part of a form or report module you will have to
move it.

One last things, which may or may not be causing a problem, is the function
name itself. DEL may have uses elsewhere in your project... I would
recommend prefixing the function name with an "f" or something like, just to
make sure there's no internal conflict (for more info on this concept see
http://www.utteraccess.com/wiki/index.php/Naming_Conventions )
