Run vba code from within 2010 Data Macro

Question

I have a function that creates a text file and need to run it from the data macro. so then the evens can use it on the table. How do I go about doing this?

Answer 1

You don't, as per our chat. Data macros even run outside of MS Access, if they used code within MS Access, this could not happen. They are tied to the database engine, which knows nothing about Access front-end.

You can run queries from a data macro AFAIK, and it is possible to create a query to write to a file*, but you cannot run VBA.

* I looked into this a little more and I find: "Queries that contain linked tables, action queries, and database references are not allowed in data macros."
