sokobana Posted June 3, 2020 Report Share Posted June 3, 2020 Hello dear forum friends. I have a problem with MEP 4.6.2.1 that I think is caused by myself. In the past, a syntax check was carried out when saving or exiting a macro. It's gone now. How can I get it back? Thankyou, sokobana Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samrae Posted June 3, 2020 Report Share Posted June 3, 2020 I duplicated this issue using Macro Express Pro 6. When the Syntax Error box is displayed and you click "Don't show this again", syntax checking is turned off and cannot be easily turned back on. Syntax checking can be restored if you edit the registry and change HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Insight Software Solutions\Macro Express 4\Editor\Check Syntax to a value of 1. I have reported this to Insight Software Solutions. There should be a better way to re-enable syntax checking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samrae Posted June 3, 2020 Report Share Posted June 3, 2020 You could also restore syntax checking by running the MacDef.exe program in the c:\Program Files (x86)\Macro Express 4 folder. But, if you do that, all of your preferences will be reset to their default values. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sokobana Posted June 3, 2020 Author Report Share Posted June 3, 2020 Hello Samrae, Thank you for your informations! There are no entries for the program in my registry. I have now noticed that I am using the portable version. Is it because of it? In the MacExp.ini file I found a [Editor] section with the entryCheck syntax = 1 Your Tip with MacDef.exe I haven't tried yet.

Samrae Posted June 4, 2020 Report Share Posted June 4, 2020 Yes, if you are using the portable version the settings would be in an .INI file and not in the registry. If the .INI file contains Check Syntax = 1 I would expect the syntax checking to work. To be sure, you could delete the line in the .INI file that contains Check Syntax to tell Macro Express to turn syntax checking back on. Be sure that Macro Express is not running when you change the .INI file. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sokobana Posted June 5, 2020 Author Report Share Posted June 5, 2020 That did not work. But now I tried your tip with MacDef.exe. Yippieh, now i have Syntax checking back again. You were very helpful for me, thankyou Samrae 😀✨ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
