Marcus, shouldn't both uncompiled and compiled versions of this macro behave in the same way? They won't quite, because in one instance you have a visible main application form - the Macro Scheduler main form, and in another (compiled) the main form is a hidden control window. In the compiled versi...

Probably. There are situations where the debugger is unable to switch focus and therefore keysends end up in the debugger. A conundrum of debugging an automation script I'm afraid. E.g. starting the script part way through after a focus line will also have that effect.

Just use MouseMove to move the mouse to the required position. E.g. a negative X value will move to the left secondary monitor. However, it's not possible to hide the mouse cursor.

Did you set up Run as User Aswell as autologon? The service can only run under system account so the macro needs to mimic the user to have same access. There may still be situations where system services mimicing a user are not allowed the same eccess to certain objects. The best solution is to leav...

Hi, When you close the remote session it logs the session out on the server. So Macro Scheduler will be exited. When you log back iin remotely the session is reopened and Macro Scheduler started again. The solution would be to either use VNC/PCAnywhere/RAdmin, instead of windows remote desktop/termi...

One thing you can check for me... Once logged in by autologon see if the autologon service is running. Look in control panel / administrative tools / services. Is Auto Logon service still running? It shouldn't be.

There are a number of ways to check the screen res and you will find some if you search the forums. However the Image Recognition library has a function which returns screen size so is probably simplest. You can download it at http://www.mjtnet.com/image_recognition.htm

Can you get any macro to run with autologon or is it just this macro that fails?

Topic: Backup Files Using FTP Commands

The way I would approach this would be to zip up the files to be backed up, using the command line options of WinZip or PKZip and then have only one file, or fewer files, to upload using FTPPutFile. This is only one way to do it. Another would be to create an FTP command file on the fly (assuming th...

You need to provide the full path on the destination. It needs a drive and folder spec.

Re: CPU-Usage

IWhen the wait is 0.05 the load is 41%, with 0.1 it's 25%, with 0.3 it's 15%. This is quite much, compared with other applications which have =0% usage when a dialog is open. Yes but those applications are not written with a scripting language like Macro Scheduler which is very high level - they ar...

Hi,

That is not a system variable. Maybe the coder meant WW_TIMEOUT which is used to set the timeout time for WaitWindowOpen.

Send the shortcut keys in lower case, not upper case. Upper case can be interpreted as having Shift key pressed. So instead of this:

Press ALT
send>N
Release ALT

You should do:

Press ALT
send>n
Release ALT

but I noticed you did it slightly different from me - The program Im developing must allow the command to run from the root of the folder without any path given because I dont know where the user will install the app. But I got around it by using this code: I don't see how this would work on the ro...
