  1. Hi all, First of all, I love this program. I have written hundreds of macros with ME since I took my current position, and this is the first issue I have ever had with it. To be honest it is very frustrating because it seems like there is a simple solution that is just evading me. Here is the problem: This macro copies a string of information from one program, activates another program (program #2), pastes the string into that window, and hits enter. It’s just a very simple macro that I wrote years ago, and it has been working great all that time. Now they have moved program #2 to a different server, and the macro will no longer work. The program has not changed at all, it was just moved. What’s happening is that when the macro gets to the point where it is supposed to activate the program the window never comes up and the macro ends up pasting the string into the original window. To be clear, it is not launching anything. All of these programs are already running. It is just supposed to activate the window. Simple problem right? I should be able to fix this with a delay, or a "wait until window active" type command, but I can't. Its not a delay issue, because I can sit there and wait indefinitely and the window never activates. That said, I know that even though the window hasn't activated ME thinks it has, because when I put the "Wait until...." command in it proceeded as if it thought the window was active. I have tried everything I can think of, but the only thing that works is to add a pause and have the user manually activate the window. For a number of reasons (which I won't bore you with) that is not a good solution. Any ideas?
