Macro Directory

Post by mo » Sat Aug 23, 2003 7:56 pm

I see macros and scripts are saved in the program directory. Is their some way to point to another directory as the default for saving macros and scripts, or, alternatively, can a directory within that directory be created?
Best Wishes!

Yes! In Macro scheduler, click on a group name. For example, you can click on the group called "Examples". Then select Ctrl-G (group properties)...
- or -
Group -> Group properties (from drop down menu)
- or -
Right click and select 'Group properties'.

You can adjust the 'Macro Path' there.

Just a note re directories for macro scripts:

I have reported some weeks ago that mapped drives sometimes are not recognized when starting windows and a dialog box comes up because location cannot be found. There is no timeout on this dialog box and windows does not complete startup.

I have found that by using UNC for the group path seems to eliminate the problem. Would like to see this corrected, but until then I would suggest that you always use UNC for group path names.

Hope this was helpful...................good luck,
Bob
