terrypin Posted November 21, 2007 Report Share Posted November 21, 2007 I'm writing what I thought would be a trivially easy macro, but I'm baffled at the outset. The start point is with a WinXP folder activated. I use the command Variable Set String %T1% from Current Folder Name But T1 is getting set to a folder that I don't even have open, namely C:\Program Files\Macro Express3 ! Even if I follow the above command immediately by a Text Display, T1 is shown to have this bizarre value. -- Terry, East Grinstead, UK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevin Posted November 21, 2007 Report Share Posted November 21, 2007 A folder you have open with Windows Explorer is not the Current Folder. The Current Folder is a hold over from the DOS days and is less and less often used by Windows programs. You can set the Current Folder using the Change Directory/Folder command.

Meanwhile I tried 'Set Value to Topmost Window Title' and that did the job OK. -- Terry, East Grinstead, UK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
