Gerry Peters Posted August 8, 2010 Report Share Posted August 8, 2010 I've successfully created a macro that opens a wordpad document when a .wav file is created in a specific directory, but it ties up macro express, until a wav file is created. wait for file exist *.wav program launch - alert.rtf This macro runs at startup, but no other macros can run, because it's waiting for a wav file. The wav file creation in this directory may only happen once a month or it could be every few days, but I want to get an alert. I auppose one solution would be to schedule it for every hour and for it to wait no more than 1 sec. Any other solutions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul Posted August 9, 2010 Report Share Posted August 9, 2010 The Professional version of Macro Express has the ability to watch designated folders and run macros when files are deleted, added or modified. Alternatively there is a utility which will do this for you. Folder Monitor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevin Posted August 9, 2010 Report Share Posted August 9, 2010 Macro Express Pro also allows you to run more than one macro at a time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
