Default Coce/VBA vs Macros

Dear friends, I really need your humble opinions on this qtions

1. What is the really good reason on why i need to write code to just open a form or report rather than a macro?
2. What do you think makes an app heavier? Code or macros?
3. When should I use code and when should I use macros?

Rgds,
Pango

Code is way more capable and macros have no way to handle errors.

2. What do you think makes an app heavier? Code or macros?


Doesn't make a bit of difference to me. If someone told me Macros were
"tons" lighter I still wouldn't use them.

3. When should I use code and when should I use macros?


Code - almost always

Macros - almost never.

AutoExec and AutoKeys are the only time Macros are handy at all, and the
AutoExec macro can easily be replaced with code in a startup form so even
that is not necessary.
