  1. Alan and Cory, I am running the latest MEPro on Windows 7 Home Premium Service Pack 1. I have noticed considerable latency at times with this operating system compared to Windows XP. There are times when MEPro goes absolutely dead (will not respond to HotKeys). If I change my current window to ME Explorer the problem disappears. Also, like you I encounter times that HotKey activation is extremely slow. I attribute these to problems with Windows 7 but I may be wrong.
  2. Terry, Do you see any speed penalty for Packing every time? It would also be nice if the Pack window would indicate when the Pack is complete. I have asked for this as well. Thanks for your reply. Jeff
  3. I asked for an automated Pack function a long time ago. ISS replied that it would look at it when time is available. Probably very low priority. Jeff
  4. For me it is a big problem not being able to turn off variable substitution. I want to process my macro file to extract variable references and other information with MEP but cannot because I get variable substitution when I do not want it. Jeff
  5. Cory, See my reply on the scope problem. It bit me and and I reported it. Good to see are still around also. I miss your old icon though. Regards, Jeff ** Some portions of this message inserted by ME Pro **
  6. I entered a formal bug report [iSS8273] Macro Express Pro - Problem with Scope a couple of days ago. I have two macros that use Ctrl+1. The scope is shown in the attachment. About the time I installed 4.1.5.1 Ctrl+1 embedded in Eudora email program and Adobe Pagemaker quit working correctly. I have used Ctrl+1 often in these two utilities. By disabling one of the two macros the problem disappears. With the discussion above, looking at the scope for my macro, I do not see that hidden windows would come into play as my macro will only work if the window is on top (can hidden windows be on top?). Jeff
  7. Peter, I have not seen you post in quite a while. I am sorry that we lost you to the Mac. Every time I use a Mac I get very frustrated that the Mac does not have easy keyboard controls. Jeff Cleveland Adjunct Professor of Mathematics and Engineering
  8. Cory, Thanks for the macro. I will give it a try and use it for other purposes after this semester ends. Best Regards, Jeff
  9. Cory, I am hesitant to use the registry. I need variables that are persistent across several macros. Do you have an alternative to suggest? Thanks, Jeff
  10. I ran into a similar problem which I found my problem: I ran the test in the post indicated in the reply. I added a BEEP at the beginning of the macro. I get the BEEP immediately but the dialog box lags by a few seconds. I found where the problem lies. My original code was: Variable Restore: Restore Text Variables Variable Set String: Prompt for value When I move Variable Set String above the Variable Restore, the problem disappears. Evidently the Variable Restore has some long delay. Unfortunately I need the Variable Restore before the Variable Set String for the macro to perform correctly. Jeff Cleveland

  12. I have a macro that immediately brings up a dialog box that I enter control information into. The last version of MEP that I have been using in 4.0.1.1. When executing the macro in 4.0.1.1 the dialog box comes up immediately. In 4.1.0.1 the dialog box comes up very slowly. I cannot use 4.1.0.1 because it takes so long. Fast execution of this macro is essential to my operations. I have returned to using 4.0.1.1 Jeff Cleveland
  13. I have noticed recently that some posts have very long lines. Is there a way to get the forum software to wrap these lines at the window edge so I do not have to scroll horizontally to read them? Thanks, Jeff
  14. Friends, FYI, I use MEP at school. I have found that if I do not select "Backup every time ME is closed" the problem with MEP taking a long time to close on log-off disappears. I have disabled that function on all the computers I use at school. I now use a macro to backup my file. Jeff
  15. Scasper, First, thanks for pointing out "Wait for Text Playback". I had not noticed that command. It may have been added in a later beta release. Yes, I feel it would be a nice addition to Text Type and other similar commands, particularly if I could set that as the default. Jeff
