WaitWindowOpen is absolute gold!!

tis performing as it should now, let's see if it lasts.

thanks for that mtettmar.

Hi All, my macro is taking ages to start after you hit the run button. i do have a timeout limit in the code set to 18.5 seconds, but i'm not sure if this means the macro will allocate those seconds before it actually starts. u can see below the first thing it runs is the EXE file then clicks a butt...

Thanks for the info Gale. I've played around a bit more with the Wait settings and it seems to be alright now. i've had to have the Remote window just sitting open on another monitor and not minimize or close it. in doing this the macro has been running successfully for the last couple of days (the ...

Hi All, have written my macro and it seems to work ok. Issue is thou that due to it having parts that take a screen shot and compare it to saved BMP's, i loose my ability to cut/copy/paste and when i do get it to work, it screws with the macro. I use a few mouse cmd's as well and think me suing the ...

Thanks for the help Gale, playing around with the SetFocus and Wait Time has fixed the issue. Now i just have to optimise it a bit more.

Cheers

The above helped immensely. Problem solved, thanks everyone.

Thanks Gale, I was looking into the waiting time and possible setfocus ideas. I'm not sure where in the code it is happening as it could be just after i open the e-mail or just before it closes. the title of the hidden window is usually the subject of the e-mail, so it's always going to be different...

Hey All, having a problem where i'm not sure what the macro pro is clicking and i can't work out where it's getting the message box. if u can see the image below, the menu option that's up there, i've not idea where it's come from. it happens randomly when running the macro and it the only thing sto...

Thanks Gale and to everyone else who responded. The above seems to have done the trick. I'll re-post if i'm still battling.

thanks bob, unfortunately that didn't make a difference, i'm now trying to use the below method, althou, i still have to have a specific wait time, which i can't really have. The time it takes after i hit ALT+o varies between 5 and 10. Let>WSI_TIMEOUT=4 run>C:\Conversions\OpenMsgAttachment\OpenMsgAt...

hmm, this might be gold for me.

i've tried the above a few times, and it seems to keep failing in the if statement. i think it may be due to the image it's looking for not being in the screen at the time of the if statement. i was using the WaitScreenImage because the time it take for the screen to come up varies and is not always...

thanks for that, looks like it should work. i'll give it a go and see.

Hi All, relatively new to this, so please bare with me. i'm trying to write a macro that will open outlook files from a DB and save them individually. i can do the bulk of it, but am stuck. i'm using screencapture to wait for a certain symbol to come onto the screen, then i hit save as and go from t...
