The last section refers to the "Other" menu. What is that?

 

Further up the page you set %strMenuName% to "Finance Menu" before running the toggle macro. Is that the same thing as "Other"?

The page has the code for two separate macros. At the top of the page is a macro which calls the macro in the bottom part. The comment text 'This is to toggle Other menu on/off' is to indicate that string %strMenuName% contains the name of the menu to be enabled or disabled, depending on its current status.

Yes, in various operating systems, including my present XP Pro.

 

Sometimes it's easily fixed by disabling the feature (in the application's Options), closing it, restarting and re-enabling.

 

But if that doesn't fix it, I suggest you provide full details, including the macro code, otherwise we're just guessing.

I was not able to identify the feature in options that you referred to. But below is the macro code for the two macros in question. Thanks for your help.

I have a macro which either enables or disables a system tray menu. Up until a couple of weeks ago it worked fine. Now when it is run, a system tray menu does not appear, but it shows as enabled. Has anyone had a similiar problem?
