Thanks, that was really helpful. Here's a more complicated step: I have 5 different mpg files, that means each time the macro runs, it has to select a different file for the 5 times it is going to run. Then after each time it selects the file, it will do it's routine route which is no problem, however at the end of the routine, I want the macro to save a file in a different name 5 times. So basically the steps are:

Select file(5 different selections)--->Routine---->Name file (5 different files)

The fact that it has to perform a SLIGHTLY different task is something that throws me off completely. The purpose was to select 5 mpg files, convert, and then name those converted files into AVI files. Any help would be greatly appreciated. THANKS!

I want to be able to schedule a time on when I want a macro to execute. You see, I have 5 mpg files I want to convert to Xvid. Each file takes about 1 hour 10 minutes to convert, so I want the macro to do something every 1 hour 10 minutes, and at the same time save files with different names, for example 01, 02, 03.AVI. Any hints? THANKS!!!
