The article discusses how to use interface macros in Microsoft Access 2013 to perform actions like opening views or creating records. There are two types of macros: embedded ones that attach to user interface objects, and standalone ones contained in macro objects. To avoid repeating code, standalone macros can be reused by calling them from other macros. Standalone macros can be viewed in the Navigation Pane but cannot be run directly from there. Instead, the Run Macro action is used to run a standalone macro from an embedded one.
