Thanks for the explanation and the words of encouragement.

As someone new to the MacroScheduler forum I am struggling to understand many of the posts. For example, this post by Rain (Tips and Scrips: LibFunc MessageBox Wizard) useful but I am afraid I cannot grasp from the terse description just what this macro and so can’t tell whether or not I would fin...

Apparently I post here. But when I tried to respond to a posting in the Tips section my screen says I cannot post there. Does one need to register separately to each section of the forum? Thanks for a clarification.

Please ignore; just seeing whether I can post a message here.

Marcus: Of course! Thanks so much for the so-lucid explanation. What I used to know is gradually coming back to me.

Can you suggest a manual or tutorial for learning how to use MS that is at a similarly lucid (simple) level? I find the HELP screens too terse for first-time users. .... wdc

I haven't used my old version of MS (V6.2.3) in many years, am trying to relearn how to do so. I do recall how to write a macro that will write one line, say my library card number, when I strike a designated hot key. But how do I write out two lines? That is, I don't know the command to insert betw...

What is the MacroScheduler 6.2 command to display a WORD file, apple.doc, located in C:\my documents?

Thanks for your patience. I am learning/experimenting with different commands. I have found that I can do what I want (sort of) by using the MessageModal command to display a reminder message ... but I am having trouble with the command that will directly display a Word file. Say I want to display t...

pgriffin: Thanks so much for your help.

Problem: how do I insert the command endif? I can't seem to find it in the list of my commands. I am using MS 6.2.

I seem to have forgotten how to write simple MacroScheduler scripts and don’t have the time right now to refresh my understanding. Would someone please tell me the commands I need to enter to have a certain file (apple.doc) displayed on the first AND the third of each month? FWIMBW … my pc is W9...

I have owned MS 6.2 for years but have never really used it for any complex macros. Could someone please help me write a macro for this application? PROBLEM: I have a WORD97 file (Table.doc) containing a table with 3 columns (A, B, and C) and 600 rows. The cells in Column A are initially all blank. ...

Lumumba, Bob Hansen: After suffering for months with my “Lexpps problemâ€Â

Bob: Yes, renaming in safemode did it. Thanks so much. .... wdc

Re LEXPPS.EXE -- Following Lumumba's and Bob Hansen's advice (also see below) I want to change the name of LEXPPS.EXE to LEXPPS.EXE.OLD. But when I try to do so using the FIND and right-click\commands, I get rejected as “the file is being used by Windows.â€Â

I changed lexpps.exe to lexpps.exe.old and the system stability improved for about two days. Then it started to display same freeze-ups again. When I did a Start\Find C:\lexpps.* I found that I had lexpps.exe. Somehow it regenerated!? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated (even though we have...
