Unable to start macro scheduler without path

Post by jiby » Fri May 13, 2011 9:34 pm

hi,

I am using Macro scheduler 11 on Win7. I wrote a script "abcd.scp" and copied to C:\Users\user1\Documents\Macro Scheduler 11\ where 'Notepad.scp' is copied along with installation.

From another machine, I am trying to invoke the script through msnet

>msNet abcd
%Specified Macro does not exist%

But if I issue the command
>msNEt Notepad

This command invokes the script. Someone please tell what changes do i have to make in Win7 machine to make the script execute without the path.

Thanks in advance
-jib

Script abcd needs to exist WITHIN Macro Scheduler - i.e. it must be visible in the list of macros in the Macro Scheduler interface. Just copying it to the folder is not sufficient. You need to also use File/Import Macros so that it shows in the macro group.

OR specify the full path:

msNet "c:\Users\user1\Documents\Macro Scheduler 11\abcd.scp"

Did you know we are now offering affordable monthly subscriptions for Macro Scheduler Standard?
