A macro is a shortcut for performing a series of actions and is useful for automating complex or repetitive tasks. Macros are helpful if the work is being shared with someone else.

The key advantage of Macros is that they allow you automate your tasks in Microsoft Office applications. Macros can be either recorded or manually coded using Visual Basic for Applications (VBA). Word ships a Macro recorder that allows you to develop automation scripts without coding.

The AppleScriptTask command executes an AppleScript script file located outside the sandboxed app.

The following code shows how to call AppleScriptTask from VB.

The MyAppleScript.applescript file must be in ~/Library/Application Scripts/[bundle id]/. The .applescript extension is not required; you can also use the .scpt extension.

Myapplescripthandler is the name of a script handler in the MyAppleScript.applescript file.

My parameter string is the single input parameter to the myapplescripthandler script handler.

The following are the [bundle id] values for Excel, PowerPoint, and Word:

  • com.microsoft.Word
  • com.microsoft.Excel
  • com.microsoft.Powerpoint

For example, the corresponding AppleScript for Excel would be in a file named MyAppleScriptFile.applescript that is in ~/Library/Application Scripts/com.microsoft.Excel/.

Important

The folders such as com.microsoft.Excel may not exist. In that case, just create them by using a standard mk dir command.

The following is an example of a handler.

What happened to MacScript?

Earlier versions of Office for Mac implemented a command called MacScript that supported inline AppleScripts. Although that command still exists in Office 2016 for Mac, MacScript is deprecated. Due to sandbox restrictions, the MacScript command cannot invoke other applications, such as Finder, in Office 2016 for Mac. We recommend that you use the AppleScriptTask command instead of the MacScript command in apps for Office 2016 for Mac.

A common feature in well-designed applications is giving users the ability to quickly focus on the data they care about. A search or filter form allows users to specify criteria to limit the records returned. This also enhances performance because the entire recordset is not brought in.

A typical filter form provides unbound text boxes, combo boxes, and other controls where users can build and refine requirements for records to meet in order to be displayed on the form. Allen Browne has a great VBA example here where he uses a filter form to search for clients by name, type, city, level and/or start and end dates. In Allen’s example, the form Filter property is set to a string that is built based on user criteria, and the FilterOn action is invoked.

To accomplish the same goals using macros that run on the Web, let’s walk through an example together. This demonstrates using the BrowseTo action to swap out the subform, TempVars are used to store form criteria and If statements decide which criteria is relevant.

For tracking issues that arise at work, I have a database where I filter issues by words in the summary, person it is assigned to, and the state of their resolution. When I first browse to the form, instead of showing data, the subform is populated with a form which displays a message that says “Select a filter using the Summary, Assigned To and Resolution fields to view the open issues.â€

The On Click event of the search button calls the BrowseTo macro action, which replaces the Issues datasheet contained by the subform with only showing only data that meets the specified criteria.

In the example above, I have specified criteria to limit issues displayed to those with “macro†in the Summary that have been assigned to Kerry Westphal. When I click the search button my macro will run and the filtered records will show.

Before we consider all the criteria, let’s construct a simple macro that considers only the Summary criteria textbox (txtSummary). Once our macro is working, we will add in more logic.

The first thing we will do in the macro is set up the error handler using the OnError action to specify a Submacro named ErrorHandler to be called in case there is an error message to display. Next we will use SetTempVar to assign the value contained by the txtSummary control to a TempVar. If the txtSummary control contains a value, the Like operator is used with wildcards in the Where Condition argument of the BrowseTo action to show the proper records. Otherwise, the BrowseTo action will show all the records. More information about the BrowseTo action can be found here

You can grab the XML here (Note: to copy this XML to paste into the macro designer, use Page->View Source and copy the XML from there).

Now that our basic macro is tested (I did that for us and it works J), we will add another condition to see only the issues assigned to the person selected in the dropdown. We can use the same logic to filter on the Assigned To field that we used for filtering on the Summary field.

In our assignments section at the top of the macro, we will add another SetTempVar action to store the AssignedTo criteria on the form.

  • If the AssignedTo criteria is not filled out, the logic we built above to consider Summary criteria for BrowseTo will be executed.
  • If AssignedTo critieria is filled out but the Summary criteria is not, only AssignedTo will be considered in the BrowseTo Where Condition.
  • If both AssignedTo and Summary criteria are specified, the Where Condition of BrowseTo concatenates them both.

We can do a similar check for Resolution criteria. This can continue for as many fields as we want to validate in our filter form to show as many or few records as needed. The macro is below and you can grab the XML for the entire macro here.
