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.

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

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

Ok, I'll just do it thru Paint, no prob.

Thanks,

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

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

Oh yeah baby! That did it!

This program is the coolest thing since sliced bread.

Thanks much for the help, Randall and Floyd,

Harold

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

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

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

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
