terrypin Posted April 2, 2009 Report Share Posted April 2, 2009 Does this ring any bells with anyone please? I have a Macro Run command in line 3 of my main macro. It calls a macro XYZ, which most definitely exists (and runs OK when activated manually). Yet the main macro consistently fails with a message about line 3 'macro does not exist'. -- Terry, East Grinstead, UK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevin Posted April 2, 2009 Report Share Posted April 2, 2009 Does the 'Macro Filename (Optional):' contain the correct information? You may leave this blank if the macros are in the same macro file. Also check to make sure there aren't any extra spaces in the name in either the Macro Run command or the macro's name itself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Kevin, but both points OK. As always I left the the macro name blank, but explicitly including it makes no difference. I also tried pasting all the commands into a new macro with a new name and new activation. That fails with identical message. Edit: Pleased to report I worked around it. I pasted contents of the 'non-existent' macro (which was called 'Toggle Full Path in Titles', alias XYZ of my opening post) to a new macro called 'Toggle Path in Titles'. With the Macro Run command in the main macro changed to run that, it works OK. Can only guess it was some sort of obscure corruption? -- Terry, East Grinstead, UK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if you've been able to work-around using the exact same code then I don't suppose this is the problem at all. Very strange. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
