This is not related to Macros. Macros do not compile. What you are
looking for is part of the toolbar in the Visual Basic Editor window, so
you will see it if you open a Module.
Not sure if this will help, but this gets you there pretty quickly...
Select any Module or Form or Report in the Database Window, and select
Code from the View menu. Or there is a Code icon on some toolbars, for
example the standard form design toolbar.
