Hi, all,
I'm new to Macro Express Pro though I've used macros for many years. (None as good as this program, though.) I've been creating global macros to run programs I use frequently and have run into a glitch with Eudora because it uses a special documents folder I created to save all my various Eudora settings and mailboxes. For all other macros, I simply selected the program from the list of running processes and gave it an activation key. Then the new macro runs smoothly every time. This doesn't work with Eudora, so I tried using the two command strings from the Eudora icon:
Program location: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Qualcomm\Eudora\Eudora.exe"
Documents folder: "C:\Users\Jim\Documents\EudoraMail"
The Eudora icon has these two commands strung out one after the other like this:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Qualcomm\Eudora\Eudora.exe" "C:\Users\Jim\Documents\EudoraMail"
I've tried copying the whole thing into the Program/Path Name box in ME, and I've also tried separating the two commands, one in the Program/Path Name box and the other in the Program Parameters box. Neither way works. When I hit the activation key, ME blinks for a second without bringing up Eudora. It doesn't matter if the program is currently minimized or turned off altogether. It doesn't come up.
What am I missing?
How to launch Eudora with special documents folder
in Macro Express and Macro Express Pro

Problem solved! Here's what I did. Maybe this will help someone else with a similar problem. On the Program Tab I used the following values:
Program/Path name: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Qualcomm\Eudora\Eudora.exe"
Program Parameters: "C:\Users\Jim\Documents\EudoraMail"
Untick the checkbox for: Start this program in its default directory.
Thanks to Cory for your reply.
