Description |

|
Command |
The name of the command you want to run. The Command box shows the available built-in commands in Access, in alphabetical order. This is a required argument. |
Remarks
You can use the RunMenuCommand action to run an Access command from a custom menu bar, global menu bar, custom shortcut menu, or global shortcut menu.
You can use the RunMenuCommand action in a macro with conditional expressions to run a command depending on certain conditions.
When you convert an Access database from a previous version of Access, some commands may no longer be available. A command may have been renamed, moved to a different menu, or may no longer be available in Access. The DoMenuItem actions for such commands can't be converted to RunMenuCommand actions. When you open the macro, Access will display a RunMenuCommand action with a blank Command argument for such commands. You must edit the macro and enter a valid command argument, or delete the RunMenuCommand action.
To run the RunMenuCommand action in a Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) module, use the RunCommand method of the Application object. (This is equivalent to the RunCommand method of the DoCmd object.)
