Thanks Kevin, Macro Express is indeed running before 09.00 so thanks to you guys i can start publishing my screendumps :-) even when i am not behind the computer. Thanks for all the wisdom you share! This forum has been added to my favorites! Untill later... Marc

Thanks Kevin & rberq, I didn't know the macro's could be setup at the same time (with Macro Express handling the priorities) This does indeed make the complex timing schedule obsolete. I think a second computer is indeed the only solution... But i don't understand the last remark Kevin made. If I setup the macro to run every 5 minutes between 09.00 and 22.00 another to do the same every hour ( between 09.00 and 22.00 ) Where can i go wrong then? Isn't the computer's clock starting the macro's at the same time? ( I use the 'other' in the schedule menu enabling me to start a macro every day between a timeframe ) Do i need to have the hourly activate the 5 min? kind regards Marc

Thanks rberq for your swift responce. Here is some info on the purpose of the macro. I'm taking screendumps at set intervals ( so i guess the run hidden is a no can do ) that are stored thru ftp. i use mouse directions and call upon a shortkey to take the screendump and send it over the net. the screendumps differ @ different timeframes. furthermore it does not take a minute to do this ( if i can perform the 3 tasks in one minute i would prefer this) what i would like to know if it's possible to dissable mouse and keyboard while the macro is running... ( thus securing a good execution ) second would it be possible to define a time window i.e. : if time > 09.00 and < 09.04 then do .... task thanks for your expertise. Marc

Hi wizards of the macro's, I m having difficulties accomplishing my goal... I'ld like one macro to do different things at different times. i have a five minute load ( calling upon a program ) a ten minute load and an hourly load. so at 09.00 the macro should execute three things ( the hourly, the 10 minute and the 5 minute ) at 09.05 the macro should only execute the 5 minute program call. at 09.10 the macro should call the 5 and the 10 minute action. at 09.15 the macro should only execute the 5 minute 'call' again... So in one hour the 5 minute is executed 12 times, the 10 minute is executed 6 times and the hourly is executed only once. I am able to start the individual macro's at different time intervals i.e. the 5 minute @ 09.00 ; the 10 minute @ 09.01 and the hourly @ 09.02. But this will keep my pc occupied all day if i expand on the idea hence the need to make it a neat little macro :-). Hope my situation sketch is up tot standard! any feedback is much appreciated. thanks Marc.
