Run a Macro

You can run VBA macros created in Reflection and Reflection 2007 (SP1), and most macros created with legacy Reflection and EXTRA! products. You can also run a macro by mapping an action to a control. However, you can only run macros in trusted locations.

Several macro-related actions (such as, Run a Reflection Workspace Macro) are available from the Select Action dialog box. For more information, see Add a Button to Run a Macro.

To run a macro

On the Session ribbon, from the Macros group, click Run Macro.

From the Run Macro dialog box, select the macro you want to run.

Note: Legacy macro options are available only if compatibility features are installed. In addition, to run legacy Reflection and EXTRA! macros from external files, you must specify, from the Set Up API and Macro Security dialog box, the type of legacy macro you want to run.
