    <p>I have written a macro (Foo) in Word VBA that I will use to manipulate data in other Word documents.<br> I have stored Foo in its own file (MyMacro.docm), not the Normal.dotm file.<br> I have found that I can't access my macro Foo from the Word datafiles I wish to manipulate (e.g. Datafile.docx), even if 'Macros in all active templates and documents' is selected. </p> <p>Is it possible to access Foo from Datafile.docx, and if so, which options do I need to change?</p> <p>Thanks, Freda</p> <hr> <p>This is what I did to run Foo on the data in the file 'Datafile.docx':<br> 1. Open Word<br> 2. Open MyMacro.docm, enable macros<br> 3. Confirm 'Foo' is available to run from MyMacro.docm - it is<br> 4. Open Datafile.docx<br> 5. Open the list of macros available to run on Datafile.docx - Foo is not available to run on Datafile.docx<br> 6. Press Alt-F11 to access the VBA editor from Datafile.docx - Foo is clearly shown in the modules listed under the MyMacro.docm document. </p> <p>I tried changing Datafile to a macro-enabled document (Datafile.docm), but it didn't solve the problem. </p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
