  1. Just went back to the main forum, and can post now. I don't know why it wouldn't work for the past couple of weeks.
  2. After I logged out, I decided on another route,which was successful. I broke the task into 3 subtasks...then used capture to code each one. I then manually inserted the alt/tab at the end of each subtask. Then, I cut and pasted all 3 together and it worked. Still...this site won't let me post outside of this thread.
  3. Unplugging the mouse controller (It's a wireless mouse.) did not make MEP record the alt/tab. I give up. Going back to TinyTask. Though it makes me load one macro at a time...at least it works with alt/tab.
  4. Cory..thanks for the reply. I know I can use activate, but the problem is...I don't have time to climb the steep learning curve of macro programming, which is why I need to use the capture capacity. It doesn't matter to me that it produces a lot of code...just that it works. I used to use superkey for this kind of stuff...until DOS died, then I used the one from "American Systems," but they dropped out of the macro business when win7 came along. When I have hours to pour into this, I think I'm going to have to develop the task I want done in stages, so I can figure out where in the script the alt/tab needs to go, and insert it manually where it's needed. As it is, It's very difficult to find out what's going on in each line of code unless you're a coder...and I'm not. It would help matters if MEP would have an option to color code certain commands in the script to make them easier to spot...but they don't. Unplugging the mouse controller might make MEP capture an alt/tab. I'll try that 2c if it works. Meanwhile, why do you suppose the system won't let me post outside of this thread?
  5. I tried posting this in another note, but the system wouldn't allow me to post at all. I emailed sysops, but got no reply. I have no idea why it's allowing me to post now, but wouldn't for the past several days. It still won't let me post in the MEP section main screen. I suppose I'd better strike while the iron's hot, and post here. I know alt/tab has its disadvantages, but as long as I have only 2 programs running, and make sure that's the case each time I run the macro, it should work fine. Problem is, when I use CAPTURE to create a macro, and the ONLY command in the macro is alt/tab, the following is what I get when I look at it via the script editor: ==================================================================================== <MACRO PLAYBACK SPEED Speed='1"/> <MOUSE MOVE Option ="\x01" X="195" _PROMPT="0x000A" /> ================================================================================= So...where's alt/tab??????? I never even TOUCHED the mouse, so why did I get a "MOUSE MOVE"?
  6. When I create a macro with nothing but "alt-tab" in it, the script it generates is as follows: ============================== <MACRO PLAYBACK SPEED Speed='1"/> <MOUSE MOVE Option ="\x01" X="195" _PROMPT="0x000A" /> ============================== So, where's alt/tab?????
