Les Hazlett Posted July 8, 2004 Report Posted July 8, 2004 Hi, I need some ideas for doing something new (for me). I have generated a scheduled macro task in ME which is scheduled to run during the workday. When the scheduled time arrives, I may or may not be at my desk. If I am not at my desk, I want the task to begin automatically. If am working on my PC, I want to choose when the macro runs - now or later. What I have now, is an audible alert and a floating text box giving me 10 seconds to abort before the macro begins execution. This isn’t a good operator interface. Using a right click on the running man is awkward. I need a better way to await operator input for a specific time period before the macro resumes execution. Please suggest a better method. Thanks, Les Hazlett Quote
dlb7be Posted July 8, 2004 Report Posted July 8, 2004 Hi Les, I use the "If message". It allows me to set a default timeout and I can assign the default action to either button. (I really like that I can name the buttons anything I want to, too!). So, if I'm understanding this correctly, this should work better. Doreen Quote
Les Hazlett Posted July 8, 2004 Author Report Posted July 8, 2004 Thanks Doreen, You understood exactly what I wanted. The IF Message command works great. Wish I had found it sooner. Les Quote
