There is only one difference between the stand alone Macros and embedded macro; they will not appear in the navigation pane under Macros Group. They are written directly on Forms/Reports or on their control's event property. When you make a copy of the Form or Report the embedded macros goes along with it.
Let us try and find out how embedded macros are created?

The Macro is open in Design View. Title bar of the macro indicates Catalog:Report:On Load (the Report Name:Object Type:Event Type) where the macro will be embedded.

- Type On Load Info in the Title Argument of MsgBox Action.
- Click on the Close Toolbar button to save and close the Macro.
