That is my question.

I have been developing a few databases and I consider consider myself to be an intermidiate developer. I was wondering though what is better to use when performing simple tasks such as requery a field on a form or oppening another form. I have been using macros but I have heard that too many can result in loss of performance in a database. I know vb allows one to do a whole heck of alot more than Macros but the things I am doing are very simple. I am willing to code these simple proceedures in VB but Macros are quicker to set up. Any thoughts?
