No, these are shortcuts in the Start Menu (C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs). They can easily be deleted just by right clicking and selecting delete. In fact, I have the macro set up now to do it that way and it works fine, but I was trying to use the delete file command instead. You can recreate this issue by creating a blank text file and then create a shortcut to it. Try to get the delete file command to delete the shortcut, not the text file. It doesn't work in XP either. Maybe I'm just not doing it the right way.

Hello, I'm working in Windows 7. I'm trying to delete some shortcuts using the Delete File command. When I browse to the shortcut link it automatically thinks that I want to delete the actual file that the shortcut points to and not the shortcut itself. So I went into the Delete File command and changed it to point to the shortcut using the .lnk extension. Although it appears to point to that shortcut, when you run the macro it doesn't delete anything. Is there a special trick to deleting shortcuts?

What the heck is going on with this? I have hundreds of IF Then statements throughout multiple macros but this one is not working right. <IFVAR2:3:01:1:3.12 ><MACRUN2:Monthly Send Reports From Lotus ><ENDIF> Which translates to: IF Variable %D1% = 3.12 Macro Run: Monthly Send Reports From Lotus End If Now, how hard is this? But when %D1% is 3.12 is passes it right by. I step through the Macro and pull up the Variable Values Window....Yup, %D1% is definitely 3.12, but it still passes by the Macro Run Command. I tried making it: IF Variable %D1% <> 3.12.... Now it works but the problem is %D1% IS 3.12. Apparently Macro Express is not see it correctly.... Any Thoughts on this? Thanks Keith

I am grabbing an address and breaking it down into 4 separate variables. STREET CITY STATE ZIP I will need to later retrieved these values in a different macro, however there are other macros that are going to run before I'll need of these values back. I know I cannot use save/restore variables ( or is there a way to save only specific variables?) . I think I will need to write these out to a separate file. I know how to get them out to a file however I am not exactly sure how to get them back or if that is even the best way to do it. Could someone please shine some light on this subject?

I have a Control getting an address from a form and placing it in a variable: BW.EXE tsclm1100s000 : Calls - [AfxFrameOrView42] DsCmwindow-4 - [AfxFrameOrView42] DsCtabFrame - [sysTabControl32] DsCrowColumn - [AfxWnd42] DsCrowColumn - [AfxWnd42] 5216 TRAILVIEW - [static] The address is always changing, however the control will not work if the address is not 5216 TRAILVIEW. How do I get the control to not care what the address is???

It appears that the Specific Coordinates for the Capture Command are for the Screen not the Window. That's not going to work because the program is never maximized and can be anywhere on the screen. Some people have dual monitors and position the program in a certain spot. Are there any plans to add an option for specific coordinates for the window vs. screen? Thanks!

OK, I'm perplexed. I have a macro clicking on a control object. Everything works great until the next day when I try to run the macro again and tells me it can't find the control. I'm still testing this to see if this happens all the time or sporadically. So far I have not been able to recreate the issue by just recycling the program or recycling macro express. Do you know of any issues regarding losing controls?

Just a Reminder! When using pixel color as a loop... if you happen to change your color scheme or if you have others use the macro and they change the color scheme... The macro will cease to work. I know from expeirence. Keith
