Run a MacroSche. from Macro

Post by wichiepr » Tue Nov 01, 2016 10:34 pm

I will like to look to a file in a folder, when that file is on the folder I want to check if a specific macro is running on Macro Scheduler. If the macro is running do nothing but if is not running start the macro Can someone gave me a hint to make this possible. I want to verify if a macro iand is not to run it.

Can you not just use a file Trigger (Macro Properties -> Trigger) for that particular macro?

With a file trigger no If is needed.
