Saving a macro to a different name

Post by Robbyn » Sun Jan 08, 2006 5:58 pm

Why when I save to a different name does the new name fail to appear in the list of macros either under all macros or general? It is in the MS directory. I have had to import it manually.

How are you saving the macro as a different name?

(I normally hit F2 in list of macro's.)

Are you opening the existing macro using the editor, then selecting "save as?"

Save As in the editor is just to save the macro file to a different file - it does not effect how the macro is stored in Macro Scheduler. For that rename it using F2.
