  1. I am a long time Macro Express Pro user. I am currently using version 6.5.1.1 I have a lot of small macros that help with simple tasks. I started using a series of macros recently. Basically, I am grabbing information that is in fields in 1 program, storing the information into variables then displaying a dialog box with that info displayed so that it can be pasted into various other programs. I have exported the main macro as an mxe file and it is launched by clicking on a field in another program. It works nicely but almost every time I launch it Macro Express will crash and I have to restart it. It will run correctly one time, then crash the next time I run it. If I look in the log for Macro Express I see: Wednesday, May 10, 2023 8:00:29:394 AM: RunningMacro.SetPlaybackVar error: Access violation at address 76EF4EF5 in module 'ntdll.dll'. Write of address 00000014 repeated about a zillion times. The macro is structured so that I have a main macro that runs a second macro and then runs a third macro all by using the Macro Run command. Can anyone shed any light on what may be going on? I can upload some macro code if necessary. Thanks!
  2. Please excuse my ignorance, but I have tried to find the answer in the knowledgebase and in the forum to no avail. I have an application that displays records containing 45 fields. I need to capture all 45 fields. I’m trying to use the Repeat with variable function. After the repeat statement, I want to use clipboard clear and copy to put the first field contents into variable T1. I then want to tab to the next field and have the next value clipboard copied into T2 etc until all 45 fields are captured. This is probably really basic, but I can’t figure out how to increment the variable name to the next number T2, T3 etc. Am I missing something really basic here? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks
  3. Thanks for the ideas, coincidentally, I believe I saw your macro when I was looking around for answers. I didn't fully understand what I was looking at but I did book mark it since it looked like it had some interesting capabilities. Your explanation might help me and I'll look at it again. I'm experimenting with the get control command. I thought I had it, but it does not work when I change the directory from the default setting. This is what I have tried: <LAUNCHDEL2:0:00C:\WINDOWS\explorer.exe<PARAM>\\newintel\g\wordperf\cases><PAUSE2:000Top,00LeftSelect a folderT><GETCONTROL2P:01:EXPLORER.EXE:CabinetWClass\\newintel\c\wordperf005:1WorkerW1ReBarWindow321ComboBoxEx322ComboBox1Edit><VARGETCONT:1:1><TBOX4:T:4:CenterCenter000278000200:000:Windows ExplorerExplorer contains %T1%><DIS:<PAUSE2:000Top,00LeftpausedT><REM2:Launch Notepad><LAUNCHYES3:0:0012notepad<LAUNCH:notepad.exe><REP3:07:000005:000001:0002:0:01:%T1%><TEXTTYPE:%T2%<ENTER>><ENDREP>
  4. I'm trying to write a macro to process files in a sub-folder. I want the macro to startup and get the list of files in the current folder, store the filename in a variable, the current folder name in a variable, the name of the parent folder in another variable. I will then use that information in another program where each variable will be pasted into various fields. I know that I can have ME allow me to browse for a folder to start with using the Set String from folder with prompt but this is too cumbersome. I want to either use Windows Explorer (launched to a particular folder) and then allow the user to browse to the correct folder. I cannot figure out how to pass the folder that has been browsed into to ME. I could also use a windows file | open dialog box from within Wordperfect (ver 12) which would already be in the correct folder. How can I pass the current folder in either Explorer or WP to the macro? Thanks in advance.
  5. This may be way off, but can't you just issue an F11 right after you launch IE and before you specify the web page. Full Screen mode disables all toolbars etc.
