Creating a Macro

Creating a macro means that tasks you perform in Sage 300 are copied and can be repeated in one step. Use the Record Macro command on the Sage 300 desktop ribbon to create a macro.

Note that you can run macros on both the desktop and from Sage 300 on the Web, but you can create them and edit them only on the desktop.

If your macro fails to download to your computer when running Sage 300 on the Web, ask your Administrator if the AVB extension has been added as a MIME type.

In Microsoft Windows 2003, Internet Information Services has a feature in which the extensions of all files that are to be served must be specified. Microsoft Visual Basic for Applications macro files have the extension AVB. Therefore, in order for a macro created in Sage 300 to download over the Web, the IIS Administrator must add AVB as a MIME type. If this is not done, the macro will fail to download to client computers.

To create a macro

You can also create an entirely different macro by typing macro language commands in an existing VBA macro (using the Microsoft Visual Basic Editor).
