Windows still deletes files in the way that you can't simply open a folder and see them. Recovering files using undelete software is not what I'm talking about. Sorry to say, but if Macro Express doesn't delete when it says "delete", I call that a bug. To be honest, I'm not exactly sure that this will be fixed, as previous feature requests have so far been ignored. This make me a little uneasy when we just purchased 100 licenses. Not to mention I would have to completely redeploy it when this is fixed. Is there not a way to delete files within macro express?

It seems the delete file function in Macro Express doesn't work as intended, it doesn't delete the file, it simply moves it to the recycle bin. As part of the macro, I'm dynamically creating temporary files that have sensitive information in them, when I'm done, they need to be automatically deleted. I don't know if there's a different way to do this, or if I need to just submit a bug report?

I'm looking for the same functionality. Especially when writing scripts that invoke other macros, I end up toggling back and forth about 20-50 times.

1. Make sure you insert 2 clicks, one to select, a pause, and another click to edit the name 2. Make sure you're clicking on the text itself Once you have another window appear (the Pause) the focus is lost on the overlay properties and it will no longer be editable.

I started to write an encryption and decryption macro, but so far to make it truly secure it's too time consuming and a pita. I had already tried Option 2, it does correctly encrypt the variables when you look at the text file, but it's only encrypting the phrase %T1% or %T2%, which when the macro ends, and the file is called later, will simply contain blank variables. Is there any way to tell it to dynamically write the macro file using the actual strings themselves instead of the variable strings like %T1% ? Thanks

Hmm the licence might be handy. I'm in for some testing.. Been a geek since Windows 3.11 with Dos 5 Experience (past 5 years): Excel 2000 - on W98 W2K & XP Excel XP - on XP (Yes, I know Office XP is just like Ofice 2000) Excel 2003 - on W2K, XP, Vista Excel 2007 - on XP, Vista, Server 2008 Very proficient with ME3 and desktop PC's software/hardware in general Some VBS & VBA I currently have at my disposal the following machines: XP, Vista, Server 2008 with Office 2003, 2003, 2007 respectively All of this software is fully licenced before you ask...

The only other place it could be is in the registry. If you have Windows XP (or higher) this is easy. Click Start -> Run -> type MSCONFIG and hit OK. go to the Startup tab and uncheck Macro Express If not, you can manually go to the registry startup keys at these 2 locations: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run

We've been writing a fairly complex macro that includes subroutines for parsing html, vbs scripts for backround loading and processing into memory, etc. etc. Essentially the macro will check to see if a file contains values for a username and password (stored in local %temp% directory) if not found, it will prompt for them, and save them in that file. Problem here is that the variables are stored in plain text, even though I'm using the encrypt method, when I save the string to a file, it is in plain text. Any suggestions for a reliable way to save and recall encrypted passwords? I can write yet another vbs to do this for me via arguments, but I'd prefer to keep it in macro express if at all possible. Thanks

where can I make suggestions for program updates? I can't imagine capturing the text boxes and buttons would be that hard as each one has a pre-defined name attached to it in the HTML.

The text box may be in a different place, depending on some random factor. -> Mouse clicks and Tab's aren't going to reach it reliably Let's also pretend there is no text in front of this box that is searchable, or the text may be moved, or some other reason that Searching won't work. For example, I want to capture this text from an IE window: <input type="text" name="NameofTextBox" size="42" value="insert text here"> Why can't we simply have the Control Capture utility find the control "NameofTextBox" within IE? or anything else in Internet Explorer/Opera/etc... I'm looking for any help!
