stripmall Posted February 9, 2008 Report Share Posted February 9, 2008 I have found that I am unable to edit my macros with the scripting editor unless I close macroexpress down, then reopen it. When I reopen it and click on my macro, then I am able to edit it. Does anyone have any idea how I can edit without this extra step? Thanks! -jm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jason Posted February 11, 2008 Report Share Posted February 11, 2008 How does it not work? Can you open the macro, but not edit or add commands, or can you not open the macro at all from the Macro Explorer? Also, does it show any messages when you try to open the macro?

stripmall Posted February 11, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 11, 2008 Sorry, more information would certainly help clarify what is going on. I finish my macros using ctrl shift alt x and get 'capture of schedule macro is complete'. when I right click on the macro I have just made again & choose edit with scripting editor I get 'cannot edit macro because the file is locked by another user'. thanks again if anyone can help. -jm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jason Posted February 11, 2008 Report Share Posted February 11, 2008 Click on Options | Preferences in the Macro Explorer and select Network from the options on the left and then uncheck the option File Locking of Macro Files. This should hopefully resolve the issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
