Cory Posted September 30, 2009 Report Share Posted September 30, 2009 How do I log errors without also logging the start and stop of the macro? If I choose to log errors in a macro from the miscellaneous tab it will also log each stop and start. I could care less when the macro was run, I want to know when it fails. In this case I have a macro that runs every minute on 20+ user PCs and I want to capture a poorly described and never recorded failure that occurs about once a week. IE how do I avoid the 50k+ log entries? Furthermore if I want the macro to email me failures I get a gazillion emails. If this is by design it's a poor design and we should have separate check boxes for logging starts and stops. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joe Posted October 5, 2009 Report Share Posted October 5, 2009 How do I log errors without also logging the start and stop of the macro? Although I have not looked at this in depth, I did do some experimenting and I can find no way to prevent the Start/Stop entries when using the Miscellaneous tab. It seems that all logging except the Log Error command place both a Start and a Stop entry into a log. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cory Posted October 5, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 5, 2009 According to ISS this is "as designed". I'm not so annoyed that it logs starts and stops, I'm just annoyed that this makes the email option is tied to it. I mean who wants to get an email every time a user doesn't have a problem with a macro? I plan on submitting a feature request. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
