  1. But that control has to be active when the macro starts? This is not a big deal; I think I can work with the window title and it will be good enough. (This is just for myself, not a client.) I did actually make this work when the control was active (just to test it) so I still appreciate the input. Well worth knowing about. Thanks, Jeanne
  2. Okay, thanks for that. Honest, it really did look like parent and child were running simultaneously. I will continue to watch that one and figure it out. But I'm still not intimidated. I will try running "yours" and mine together. Then when I see it working flawlessly (!), presumably, both could be children of a macro that does nothing other than running both. Sincerest thanks, Jeanne
  3. What a lot of helpful info. Thank you, Cory. So you use something like the "If Window Title "Font Warning" is on top" and if true, use "Macro Run"? I've already used "Macro Run" and would have expected that the parent waits for the child to complete. It does seem like the macro sometimes moves ahead to open the new file before it finishes with the current file and that surprised me. It worked, so I didn't worry about it. (Except it didn't work with two or more message boxes.) If these are running simultaneously, this is starting to make sense. I've tried adjusting the timing but the timing can be awfully hard to figure. (For a different process, I just had to put in a "Pause: Basic" and click Resume as needed.) Intriguing. I will try this just to see it work. I would never have conjured this up. Thanks for this too. I'm not so familiar with controls but want very much to understand it and you've given me a start. (Naturally, one starts with what one knows and works from there.) This button says DONE and, actually, <enter> <esc> and "D" are all unreliable. Maybe because two macros are running simultaneously? I will definitely try testing for a control (and in other circumstances "window running" rather than "window on top"). Interesting question. Very sincere thanks, Jeanne
  4. These are music notation files and the program can export an image file (TIFF or EPS) of the page. Yes, this little trap sits within a "Repeat With Folder" routine. The routine works just as expected and so does the error trap -- unless this warning pops up *and* the file has more than one page (resulting in two graphics files, one for each page, but also a warning for each page).
  5. I have a little error trap: If Window Title "Font Warning" is on top Text Type <ENTER> Delay 250 Milliseconds End If Simple. And it works just fine as I loop thru a big directory outputting one graphic image from each one-page file. However in *some* files, there is more than one page so the warning reappears for each page. There are usually two, maybe three, but there are no guarantees. Is there anything like a do ... while command? I've been scratching my head for a while and have tried looking it up, but I haven't hit upon the search words that will locate it (if it exists). Repeat Until doesn't evaluate this kind of condition. Is there something obvious I'm missing? Thanks, Jeanne
