Thanks, Kevin. I inserted a Get Control command at the beginning of the macro, and it now works, although I sometimes have to hit my hot key combination twice to get it to run. Is this because of the delay introduced when starting the Get Control utility? If so, is there any way to eliminate the delay? Thanks again! Great program that I'll definitely be purchasing. It has Workspace Macro Pro beat hands down.

Thanks for the reply. I tried your suggestions, and it appears that my hot key combination doesn't even run the macro when I use it in my program. It does run the macro, though, when I use it in Notepad or from the run command. I've tried my scope settings as both global and window specific, with the same result. I thought it might be something specific to the program, so I created another password entry macro for a different program, and it does the same thing there. Any ideas? Do you think it might be some arcane security setting in Vista that's keeping this from working? Thanks!

I'm trying out MacroExpress, running Windows Vista. I created a simple text entry macro using the Quick Wizards to enter a 6 character password, and used a hot key combination to run it. When I use the hot keys to enter the password in the program that needs the password, nothing happens. When I open up Notepad and press the hot keys, my text is entered just fine. I've tried this macro as both Global and Program Specific, with no change. I also tried to turn on error logging, but nothing gets written to the log. Does anyone out there know what I'm doing wrong? Thanks.
