Save As doesn't seem to function on a disconnected server

Post by Taudruw » Fri Nov 19, 2010 9:33 pm

Hello. First post so I figured I'd try the Beginner section. I tried to search on this but came up empty so if it has been discussed please let me know where.

I am attempting to login to a website and download a simple CSV file. I used Webrecorder to get my initial script written then I tweaked it to fix any issues. Now I have it setup on my scheduler which resides on a Windows 2003 server. It runs fine when I watch it manually, however when I schedule it, disconnect my RDP session and let it run on it's own it seems to get stuck on the SendText>S or somewhere near that point. I've tried Send>S and SendText>S and they both seem to halt the script or it is halting right before that point. Any ideas or has anyone else run into this problem? Thanks in advance.

disconnect my RDP session
This has been discussed before.....


The non-technical answer is that when RDP is disconnected or minimized, there is basically NO screen for the program to interact with. This is the way Microsoft chose to do it, not really a MacroScheduler issue.
