  1. Welcome kramer! There are no adjusments that can be made to the multiple choice menu size. It is what it is.
  2. Hello Randall! Sorry but I have not downloaded IE7. I can't speak to your problem. And I know for sure that Floyd hasn't downloaded it either. Hopefully others here have and can help.
  3. Hello Bob! Your computer has a keyboard buffer that connects you with whatever software package you are typing. The purpose, of course, is to allow you to type away at your own speed on the input side and to feed your keystrokes to the application on the output side. These keystrokes are fed as fast as the application will accept them. You cannot type faster than your application but Macro Express can. So, it seems that your keyboard buffer is being overloaded. There are three solutions that can be used separately or together: Goto Options->Preferences->Delays and set the "Use Text Type delay" box to any value you wish. 1000 microseconds = 1 millisecond = 1/1000 second. I have my system set to 10,000 microseconds (10 milliseconds). Use your own discretion. Break your message into short lines and use the "Text Type" command with a "Delay 10 milliseconds" command between each "Text Type" command. Same as above, but use a "Wait Text Playback" command in place of the "Delay command".
  4. Unchecking the Capture At checkbox (Options->Preferences->Capture) will eliminate the delays in macros that you are capturing. This might mean, however, that your macro will run too fast for the computer to keep up. Capturing macros is a great way to learn Macro Express. You might also consider going through the tutorials and samples in the macex.mex library installed along with Macro Express.
  5. Well, what have you tried so far?
  6. Could be a lot of reasons, but it sounds like some type of a memory leak somewhere. What operating system are you running under? But to answer the question: yes, I've experienced this under Win'98. I had a macro that mined eBay data for exactly 8.5 hours and then the machine would freeze ... every time. I could set my watch by it. Once I switched it to a Win'2k machine it ran forever. Well, not really forever. I think it ran for about 3 weeks before we lost electricity in a storm. If a macro runs fine over a period of time (or even just once) then it is logical to assume that the problem must be external to the macro.
  7. What you want to accomplish is best done by creating a macro rather than capturing one via the built-in wizards. Check out some of the logic commands. If Window, Wait for Window, Window Controls, and so forth. You and I know what to do by reading the screen. Macro Express can't read but it can test. Is this window up? Is the Control active? Has this process started? Ended? Is it time to make coffee? ... and so forth. Start small. Review the tutorials. Review the samples. All of which will take some of your time, but the results of spending time now, will save you a lot of time, and headaches, later.
  8. Place a delay between the clipboard commands, or make sure that the Macro Express system-wide delay is set (Options->Preferences->Delays). It takes a lot of work for Windows to process it's own clipboard.
  9. Wouldn't the coordinates of the second monitor start where the primary monitor ends? If, for example, the primary monitor's resolution was 1024x768, then the secondary monitor's upper left coordinate would be 1024 x and 0 y.
  10. Have you tried changing settings within IE? The settings under the Multimedia section (Tools->Internet Options->Advanced) should do what you want.
  11. Oded - Place a Log Errors command at the beginning of your macro. It is located under Debug in the Commands pane. Make sure that you check the Do not display error message (log only) box.
  12. The command you want is in the Variables category. Variable Set Integer -> Get Length of a Text Variable
  13. I think it's "Program Manager". You can check by creating a little macro that moves the mouse to the desktop, clicks, and then sets a string to the topmost window title.
  14. #1) It could probably be accomplished with an external software package that does screen text capturing. SnagIt from Techsmith comes to mind, but there are others. You can use Macro Express to control the automation of it same as any other software. #2) Not sure. #3) There are mouse commands in Macro Express for handling this: Wait for Mouse Cursor Wait for Not Mouse Cursor If Mouse Cursor If Not Mouse Cursor
  15. The Windows calculator. You can do all sorts of great things with it. Almost every key has an equivalent keyboard command. You can cut, paste, and copy from it to your clipboard. It works very well using Macro Express's Window Control commands. In your case, its just a matter of switching it to hex mode, pasting a hex string into it, changing it back to decimals, and then copying from it to the clipboard. And of course Macro Express can handle all of this.
  16. Change MacExp.exe in your command line to MeProc.exe
  17. You could also use the built-in Windows calculator to convert. Change the display to hex, enter the number, and then change the display back to decimal.
  18. Sorry ... I just couldn't resist that one-liner. First loop through the file and get a line count. Process all lines starting at 1. Set N1 to 0 Process text File Increment N1 End Process Now create a repeat loop stepping from that number down to 1. Inside this loop go directly to the current line number by setting the starting line to the current loop number and the number of lines to process to 1 Repeat until N1=0 Process text file (Go to the current N1 line) <Macro processing commands here> End Process End Repeat
  19. Just wanted to say that I think this is a brilliant idea. Kudos! ... Floyd, get over here ... take a look at this ... yeah ... yeah ... uh-uh ... what do ya mean I SHOULD of thought of it?? What am I paying you for? Uhm scuze us folks ... Floyd ... Floyd ... not paying WHO enough? Wait ... ah gotta go ...
  20. Hello Chief! Create a CR/LF string: // Create a CR/LF string (ASCII 13 + ASCII 10) Variable Set %T10% to ASCII Char of 010 Variable Set %T13% to ASCII Char of 013 Replace "%T13%" with "%T13%%T10%" in %T13% <REM2:Create a CR/LF string (ASCII 13 + ASCII 10)><ASCIIC:10:1:010><ASCIIC:13:1:013><TMVAR2:21:13:00:000:000:%T13%%T13%%T10%> Now you can use it to replace CR/LF's with asterisks in your variable. Replace "%T13%" with "*" in %T1% <TMVAR2:21:01:01:000:000:%T13%*>
  21. Bernhard - Please change uploaded file to a zip file. See Uploading files.
  22. Brad - I've never used GoLive. Floyd created the HTA manually in order to show what can be done. Macro Express has always lacked a multiple field input dialog, which is why Floyd dis what he did and does what he does. But a passing knowledge of html is needed. I'm sure there must be a form builder out there that can do what you want. We might be looking for one ourselves shortly! Will let you know what we find.
  23. The buttons on a web page form are not Controls
