  1. OK, I found the answer in a search. I've unchecked the "disable ss", now I'll test the macro w/the ss, if it doesn't work, I'll do the "send keystroke" thing. Harold
  2. OK, well I made a macro to enable and disable the problem macro but that one also prevents the ss from loading. So apparently any scheduled macro will do this? Harold
  3. Hi, I have only one macro on a schedule. If the macro is enabled my screensaver will not come on. The macro is below. At 11:15 pm it checks to see if a program is running and saves and shuts it down if it is, then runs another program. Why would this keep my SS from loading and, more importantly, what can I do to remedy the problem? Would scheduling another macro to enable and disable the problem macro at the proper times work? Thanks much, Harold <IFOTH:06:1:MSWIN.EXE><ACTIVATE2:MetaStock Professional><TEXTTYPE:<ALT>FL><WAITTIME:00000010><WSHUT:MetaStock Professional><ENDIF><LAUNCHDEL2:0:01C:\Trade\UA\EzDownloader.exe>
  4. Ok, I'll just do it thru Paint, no prob. Thanks, Harold
  5. I want to print a gif file daily. I can't find a "Print" command anywhere. Do I have to create a macro to open something like Paint, then open the file, then print it thru Paint? Seems like a convoluted way to do it. Thanks, Harold
  6. My macros are being stored by default in My Documents. I would like to put them in their own folder elsewhere. I don't see this in any of the options. How would I do that? Thanks, Harold
  7. Oh yeah baby! That did it! This program is the coolest thing since sliced bread. Thanks much for the help, Randall and Floyd, Harold
  8. Ok, I tried it w/Wait Time Elapse (10 mins) and it worked fine. I'll try it w/o the complete program name path and see what that does. Thanks, Harold
  9. Well, what am I doing wrong then? ME is not waiting for the program to terminate. It dials, connects, then immediately hangs up, w/o waiting. Thanks, Harold
  10. Hi. No there's no website. It's a program on my computer. When you launch it, it automatically starts downloading data, then closes itself when it finishes. I don't know anything about programming, but I thought I'd need something like a "Then" statement, like this: Wait Program Terminate: "C:\Trade\UA\EzDownloader.exe" THEN Dial-Up Networking: Hang Up So it doesn't hangup until after the program terminates. But I can't find THEN in MacroExpress commands anywhere and I'm not sure how to use it in this case anyhow. Thanks, Harold
  11. Hello, Just got ME a couple wks ago, incredible program. I want to logon to the net, run a stock data downloading program, then logoff when it's finished. I know how to do everything except get it to wait until the program is finished before logging off. I think I should use "Wait Program Terminate" but I don't know how to make Logoff wait for that to happen. Here's the commands as I have them in Script Editor: Dial-Up Networking: RC Program Launch: "EzDownloader.exe" Wait Program Terminate: "C:\Trade\UA\EzDownloader.exe" Dial-Up Networking: Hang Up In Direct Editor: <DIAL:<NAME:rcrcbrp><PASS:>RC><LAUNCHDEL2:0:01C:\Trade\UA\EzDownloader.exe><WAITPROG2:000000:000000:C:\Trade\UA\EzDownloader.exe><HANG> Thanks for any help, Harold
