I'm not quite sure what you're trying to accomplish or if I understand this correctly, but: 40 times * 4 variables=160 and there is only 99 text variables?

We have just bought it and even though we have used Me for a couple of years, I've already learned alot of interesting stuff from the book. Don't just think about it, just get it now! And now the weather report: Friday 13:15 Sunny, free from clouds and +12°C. Time to go home soon.

Very interesting tip Stan, thanks!

Thanks for the tip but it doesn't lock for any movement and I sometimes want to see whats happening when the macro runs. I'm interested to hear what ISS thinks of this, Jason said (Apr 25 2006) that it was planned for a future release. Is the future soon... :-) I hope so.

Hi, just wondering what's happening with this? It would be a nice function. I'm always kind of nervous when I run my macro and they come to clean my office..... If it was possible to to lock out the mouse and the keyboard, you still had to be able to use the abort macro hotkey.

Maybe this could help: http://pgmacros.invisionzone.com/index.php?showtopic=2180

Thanks for the tip, but in this case I don't think it has something to do with my problem, my macro copies the data from Excel and writes it to this other application, and the data is right in Excel but it turns out wrong in this other appl. and when it happens (it's seldom) it just happens randomly.

I copy the data from Excel to a Oracle-based application and in some fields it's not allowed to write with lowcase letters, it automatically turns to uppercase letters. But in this field for designation it's ok to write both kinds. I'll put this in mind and try to figure out if it happens in some special situation, but I doubt that it's something that I can affect. Thanks Kevin for the answer anyway.

We have experienced some trouble when copying from Excel to another application. When copying data from excel it eg. looks like this in the cell R27 DT71D4 in the excelsheet, but when it writes it out in the application it looks like this R27 Dt71D4 (a lowercase letter somewhere in the middle), it's can be randomly placed. I don't know what to think, I can't see that it should have something to do with timeing issues in ME, I don't know if it has something to do with ME at all or if it's something with the other application. Doesn't ME copy the ASCII code? If so it definitely should be a uppercase letter there. Someone who has a clue, why this is? Oh, have to run, time to go home

I usually use Ctrl+(some key) to start my macros and I've never experienced anything like you describe.

Take a look at this Multithreading / Simultaneous Macros Or Loops?

Hi This is maybe not the best solution but, you could make a Mouse move and left mouse click down in the right corner (somewere near the clock) to deactivate.

I use SPACE to toggle sometimes, and I never had any problem with this so.... I just think it's strange that it works when you do it manualy, the only thing I can suggest is to try Wait Text Playback after the Text Type command and to make sure that the window where you want to toggle with space is highlighted before the Text type.

Hi It sounds odd, are you using the Text type command for <SPACE> ?

Yes, you can use the Delete Part of Text in the Variable Modify String command.

Hi This is going to be a answer in general terms. Is it possible to navigate to the page-field with Tab or Arrows? If it is use the Text type command to do the Tab or arrow commands, to jump to the right field. Copy the text with the Clipboard Copy command and use Variable Set Integer/Set Value from Clipboard. Hope this guided you some

As I recall seeing in the help-file the accuracy of the schedule time isn't dead on. In this case my macro runs for a couple of hours and I want to be certain that the macro don't fires of again at the same day. (Only once per day). But it seems that you're test shows that it will not, so I guess I can relax. Thanks.

Hi I've looked in both the help-file and in this forum but I have'nt found the answer to this. If I have checked both hotkey and Schedule and I start the macro with the hotkey slightly before the scheduled time, what happends when the macro is finished running with the hotkey. Does the macro start once more because the time for schedule did occur while the macro was running?

Hi Sorry this slided of into another topic. Kevin of course solved my problem, you can read about the result in this link: http://pgmacros.invisionzone.com/index.php?showtopic=2581 Have a nice day

Got this from the help file. Does the Display Control Info show any differens between the two windows?

Just wondering if you couldn't you use the Get Control command instead? There you can choose the Partial title instead of Exact match.

As you're not telling which application it is, where you want to do this, i might be all wrong. When i work in e.g Excel i open with ALT+Arrow down. You're able to accomplish this with Text Type command.

Now i've sent the files to you're e-mail adress.

Hi Kevin I still have these problems, but i've found out that it's different between the macros, look further down. I shut down my computer almost every night. I've emptied the macros recycle bin, it wasn't so much in there. The mex file is 131kb and the Total physical memory is 1048048kB, free 597964kB, Systemcache 483456kB. I can't see any problem with this, i've accessed both macros regulary. I wait a little with doing this. We have so much work going on now with the help of macros.Now what i've come up with, i've found out that it's different between the macros. I have one macro that contains 5583 characters and it opens properties directly, i have another one wich contains 389 characters and it takes 17seconds to open up properties, regardless of any reboot, it always takes the same time in both cases. Both macros works fine, so i think it's very strange and i can't see any reason for this. What should i do next. What do you think about all this Kevin? Should i post the code of these two macros, maybe not here, to you directly Kevin? This is not a big problem more of a strange annoying kind of type.

Ahhh, i see! I'll try this first thing tomorrow, this is really interesting, we could trim alot in our macros. We were certain it was only for tab, shift etc. commands, don't ask why... I like that you pointed out: No, i havent read it. but i guess i should. Thanks again Floyd.
