Create button to execute other buttons

[opko]

Hello,

I am fairly new to macro's and VBA programming and do not know the difference between private sub and public sub (among a ton of other things).

My problem: I have a form with some buttons which all contain embedded macros. When I click these buttons, they execute a sequence of query's which are specified in the build-in macro expression tool. The query's are used to calculate some values from many tables.

Now I want to create a button in the same form that executes all the other buttons.

So my question is: How do I create a button which executes other buttons? I suspect this is done in VBA, but I do not know where to enter code or what code to enter.

How do I create a button which executes other buttons?

you use vba code (macro's too probably but I don't use them so can't advise)

say you have three buttons called Action1, Action2 and Both. All need code in the click event.

 Private Sub Action1_Click()
    if me.Action1.backcolor=vbred then me.Action1.backcolor=vbgreen else me.Action1.backcolor=vbred
 End Sub

  
 Private Sub Action2_Click()
    if me.Action2.backcolor=vbred then me.Action2.backcolor=vbgreen else me.Action1.backcolor=vbred 
 End Sub


 Private Sub Both_Click()
    Action1_Click
    Action2_Click
End Sub
