That was it. Thanks. I never worked with ME on this level before last week. It was always just recording mouse clicks and movements. Again thanks.

I've run into a problem where ME is complaining that a Repeat End is not found for a corresponding Repeat Start. I've verified on screen that each Repeat Start has a Repeat End. I've printing out the script and highlighted each start and end. It appears to be correct. Originally I used a Repeat Variable. One thing I noticed was that Repeat End was highlighted green. So, I just changed Repeat Variable to Repeat Start after encountering the error. I still get the error every time the script runs. Could someone help me understand what is going one? The Macro Runs have been tested individually and are working. The problem occurs sometime after the bolded repeat command. I've bolded it here to make it more apparent. // Detects NPCs Macro Run: Set overview NPC Mouse Move Window 1187, 217 Delay 750 Milliseconds Mouse Left Button Click Delay 750 Milliseconds Get Pixel: Under Mouse into %N70% If Variable %N70% > 0 Macro Run: Checks if light on. If yes, turns them off. Macro Run: Window up Macro Run: Deploys items Macro Run: Detect numbers of NPC // Moves mouse to first, then second, third, so on.

Thanks for the reply. I think my decision is made to commit the time to learn the application in depth.

Hey all, I'm new to macro express but have found the trial useful. I'm seriously considering purchasing the program to help me in my daily tasks of information gathering. However, I have some concerns. From what I've been able to use the program for so far, it appears that Macro Express is heavily dependent upon window position and timing issues. Is Macro Express capable of determining when and if a web page loads and either waiting or terminating the macro? Is Macro Express capable of correctly positioning windows and differentiating the correct window it should interact with from a multitude of others. For example, part of my daily tasks is gathering information from multiple websites, printing and inputting parts of that information into a report application. At my current level of knowledge of ME I am solely reliant on mouse position, window position and proper timing for my macros to work correctly. Being that the web is dynamic, pages may not load on time or at all, my macros are very susceptible to timing issues. Anyway, I'm not looking for specific instruction. What I am looking for is input to determine whether or not Macro Express is capable of overcoming these issues before I commit the money and more importantly the time required to learn this application to its full extent.
