renee Posted October 11, 2006 Report Share Posted October 11, 2006 We have a macro we want to run hourly. It will run perfectly 7 or 8 times then stalls. We will see that it has excuted but somehow after 7 or 8 times it will "miss" its mark in saving the file we are generating. We've been running it now for about 2 weeks and it always seems it runs perfectly for 7 or 8 hours. I'm repeating myself... something we wish the macro would do!! Anyone else experience this bizzare behavior? Any ideas?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyberchief Posted October 11, 2006 Report Share Posted October 11, 2006 Do you have any other scheduled macros? Maybe something that runs around that 7th or 8th hour? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
renee Posted October 13, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 13, 2006 We have the macro on a stripped down machine. It only has ME on it and Launchpad which runs on the half-hour and the macro is scheduled to run on the hour. Maybe we should use other? And have it run every 60 minutes? - Thanks - Renee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
renee Posted October 20, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 20, 2006 Does this make sense??? After the macro runs about 10 times, the mouse moves enough so that it won't do a mouse move? I have the macro written to move to a save button (there is NO pull down menu, etc.). If the mouse is moved, even though I have it saved to wait until it turns in an arrow, and it is an hour glass and not an arrow, it will not move to the save button if some how it has been moved. We are thinking of taping the mouse down on the desk. But this is crazy. We did get it to run for 10 times, then it clicked on a backup file and tried to open it. Should I write in to keep the mouse moving in small increments or something? - anything? Can ya tell we're frustrated!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
renee Posted October 25, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 25, 2006 We got it figured out why it would only run 8 times. The Norton utilities was looking for new updates. We figured it was something like this but could never "capture" the dialogue box that would open messing up our macro. Thanks for the help anyway.
