I don't believe there is because the sound is part of the message. No message ... no sound.

Right click on any one of the built-in system macros. An Activation window will pop up. Set your new hotkeys from there.

The macro commands for this are in the Window Controls category. Go through the tutorial in the Macro Express help file, too.

Hello Cory! It's just a simple matter of copying macedit.exe from your computer into the Macro Express installation folder on the editor-less workstation. Macro Express will recognize that the editor exists allowing you to make and save whatever preference changes you need. You would then delete or rename macedit.exe so that the next time Macro Express launches, it will once again see there is no editor.

Welcome to the group! What you want is fairly simple. Let's say the file of names is called fruit.txt, and it contains what is in your example. Furthermore, we will assume that you are creating folders in c:\temp. The primary commands you need are Text File Process and Create Folder. Do this: // Create folders. Text File Begin Process: "fruit.txt" Create Folder: "c:\temp\%T1%" Text File End Process <REM2:Create folders.><BTFBEG:001:000001:000000:c:\temp\fruit.txt><DOFILE:02:NN:c:\temp\%T1%>><BTFEND> To count line in a file do this: // Count the lines in a file saving results to N1. Variable Set Integer %N1% to 0 Text File Begin Process: "fruit.txt" Variable Modify Integer: Inc (%N1%) Text File End Process <REM2:Count the lines in a file saving results to N1.><IVAR2:01:01:0><BTFBEG:001:000001:000000:c:\temp\fruit.txt><NMVAR:08:01:0:0000001:0:0000000><BTFEND>

Cyberchief - For testing situations I use Ctrl+1, 2, ,3 ... top row of the keyboard. Technically I start with Ctrl+' (Control Tilde) because I can activate it with just my left hand ... being the lazy sort that I am.

Cyberchief - er, why not just not make any macros activated by those HotKeys?

Hello Dash! Probably just an unfortunate phrasing on your part because I do not recall pushing anything on anybody. You did say, however: I think it's just peachy-keen that you have created a function that you can use. You are correct Julian dates don't help you, but Julian day numbers do, which is what I attempted to explain. If I remember correctly the main difference between Gregorian and Julian day numbers is that the latter takes into account the 100 and 400 year leap-year thing. If you are working with 20th century dates, it don't mean squat. There are a few very good, logical reasons for using the Registry, not the least of which is it was put there to use. Also, it is the only built-in closet on your computer where you can put things without having to convert them first, like integer and decimal type variables. If you are going for speed and reliability, it's the only way to fly. Well, we don't think you need to pay extra either. If you can do it, and you have the time, then this is good. It is how great things are created. Surely you jest. Have you tried anger-management?

In the Scripting Editor there is a Find feature: Edit->Find or simply Ctrl+F. In the Direct Editor there is a Search and Replace feature: Edit->Search or simply Ctrl+R.

Welcome to the group! Yes, but you must use variables to hold the results. Variable Modify Integer: %N1% = 2 + 2 Variable Modify Integer: %N1% = %N1% * 3 <NMVAR:01:01:2:0000002:2:0000002><NMVAR:03:01:1:0000001:2:0000003>

I don't think your operating system allows for this. Normally when you click a link from within any software application, your browser will fire and move to the top of the window stack automatically.

It looks like you've got the sequence correct, what is it you need help with? 1) Get mail 2) Click or Tab on next link in mail 3) Wait for IE to load 4) Activate mail window 5) Wait for mail window 6) Goto 2

That is correct. An OR statement only needs one test to be true. Just so you understand, the opposite of what you wrote is: If "save all job and code for this day.txt" contains T1 AND If "save all job and code for this day.txt" contains T2 Delete email Else Paste T11 into T2 Append "save all job and code for this day.txt" with T11 End If But the results of the above are identical to your code. (notice that commands inside the If/Else/End If construct are reversed).

The script editor is menu driven, so it inherently takes more time to create a script than, say, VBScript, or batch files, or other languages. On the other hand, you don't have to worry about syntax errors. One feature in the editor that I've found to be invaluable is <Alt><Down Arrow>. It places the cursor in the Search for Command field where I can simply type the command that I need and then hit <Enter>, which places it in the script.

Welcome to the group ... we were all new to Macro Express at one time! The command for placing the new number in your text is Text Type. It mimics what you would do with your keyboard. For example, let's say that you wanted to number ten paragraphs. Your macro would be something like this: 1) Position your cursor at the first paragraph 2) Within a Repeat loop (10 times) 3) Increment your variable 4) Activate your text window 5) Text Type the variable 6) Have the macro move the cursor to the next paragraph 7) Loop again

Jeff - I think it is. It seems that you are not stumped at all. From what I am reading, you understand exactly how the ShortKey activation works. I am assuming that no prefix is being used. You will have to change them individually. There is no way to copy a library of macros to an editor and then copy them back again. It can be done one at a time, but what would be the point?

Use string compares and the OR logical statement for your test. Here is more detail on how to structure your macro: T10 = "" Start Repeat Loop T11 = Current Email T1 = The "Code" in T11 T2 = The "Job" in T11 If T10 does not contain T1 OR If T10 does not contain T2 Paste T11 into Notepad Append T10 with T11 Else Delete email End If End Repeat Loop

Not sure if it is a better idea, but: 1) Set a string variable to hold all emails, say T10 2) Within a loop 3) Copy an email into a different string, say T11 4) Test T10 to determine if it contains a job and code of the email in T11 5) If not, paste T11 into Notepad 6) Append T10 with T11 7) If so, then delete email 8) End of loop

I don't think this is possible. An tab object is like any other object (field, checkbox, drop-down, ...). It is like asking your mouse and keyboard to do work in two different objects, or windows simultaneously.

Jeff - No. The command does accept variables. Posting the native Macro Express code along with the command text would help the group determine what the problem may be.

Hello Bob! Whenever either of these windows pop up, simply use the Windows Reposition command (prior to you mouse commands) to move them anywhere you choose.

Yes it can. Look into the Set Variable From Prompt and Create Folder commands.

Sure it can! Look into the Get Pixel Color and Mouse Move commands.

I'm sure the Babylonians had a lot of time on their hands, except for that tower thing. But really, what was else was there to do except Macro Express coding on a hot Saturday night in the desert?

There is. Look in the Options->Preferences->Playback screen and you will find what you need.
