Very interesting...
What are the common things that I do that seem to require Macros or some
sort of complicated work.
*** Storing and extracting a binary file
I have a database that tracks things that I purchase with an image of
the receipt. I need to select and store the graphic. I save the file
name in another field so that I can store the file when I am finished.
Without the file name, I do not know the file extension and other items
when it is time to extract and save the file back to the file system.
I typically add a button that calls a macro. The macro opens a file
selection dialog, accepts a selection, stores the file name and the data
to the database. This just feels complicated.
