Scheduling macros at EXACT repeating times

Dear mtettmar

Pl refer your post (Posted: Sat Dec 16, 2006 7:56 am )

This was the solution you gave to Miaowara

Set the start time for the next time on the hour, e.g. if it's now 9.40 make the start time 10.00. Now set a repeat interval of 30 minutes. The macro will now run at 10.00, 10.30, 11.00, 11.30 etc. If a start time is missed, it will run at the next correct start interval. So if the PC is powered off at 10.15 and not restarted until 10.45 (the 10.30 was missed) the macro will now run at 11.00. Then 11.30 ... etc.

I have left Advanced scheduling settings to "Repeat Continuously"
and "Run at scheduled start time".

Still when the power goes off at 11.15 and and not restarted until 11.45
(the 11.30 was missed), the "start at" box value is reset back to 10.00 and
I have to wait for 22 hours for the schedule to fire again.

Why does this happen ??

Which version do you have? As long as the schedule cycle has been started that should not happen. But it may depend on the settings you have under Advanced Schedule. Leave these options set to their defaults. Once the schedule cycle has started, if the machine powers off and an interval is missed, the next valid interval will be used on startup.
