Even after hangs or failures, has anyone developed a way to ensure that, after re-starting, MS will run the proper reiterative scripts at the correct times, instead of picking a time itself? It's also possible that I just don't know how to use the advanced section of the "Run When" part of the scrip...

Isn't this the way?

Let>RP_WINDOWMODE=0

Day>the_day
Month>the_month
Year>the_year
Let>this_day=%the_month%%the_day%%the_year%
Run Program>c:\chkser.bat %this_day%

Let>RP_WINDOWMODE=1

???

Is there a way to do rounding or modulus?

Thanks. It works like a charm... Two things: 1. The date is dependent on your Windows regional settings. 2. The DayCount loop has to start with a value of 1. Finally, I almost used a flat file read approach, which also would have worked. But, your solution is simpler and more elegant. Does the read ...

I don't have VB....

[quote="Captive"]Try this. :)VBSTART
Function DayOfYear
DayOfYear = Abs(DateDiff("d","01/01/" & Year(Now),Now))
End Function
VBEND

VBEval>DayOfYear,DayCount
MessageModal>Days so far this year : %DayCount%[/quote]

Marcus once sent me a script to derive the day of the year in MacroScheduler. I had a, let's say, C-R-A-S-H a short time ago and lost many things. Once of them, this MacroScheduler scp. I do not have VB, so does anyone have a script that does this in a nice, understandable way?
