Thank you very much for you quick response! I gave that a try and no happiness but it did spark something in my memory that made me remember that I not too long ago purchased a license for a tool called "Classic Menu for Office 2010 and 2013" (CMFO) and I'd be willing to bet that addon is probably t...

MS not seeing Microsoft Office Excel 2013

Hello, I was just trying to write a simple macro to automate the copying of product names from my Amazon account's Subscribe and Save to an Excel 2013 spreadsheet through a simple CTRL+C setfocus CRTL+V macro but I'm not getting anywhere fast! I'm confused! Here's the macro showing what I was trying...

How2 resume scheduled script after Win8 awakens from sleep?

Hello, I've get a simple script that I run every 12 minutes to check if I have a live Internet connection. I notice that if my Windows 8.0 Pro PC goes to sleep and misses it's next scheduled run, the script will not run again until the clock hits 12:03 again. Is there a way to have Macro Scheduler r...

Wow Grovkillen, you sure came up with a tough question here! While considering this, and believe me, I have carefully considered this, I've decided that my favorite Macro Scheduler (MS) command is, SetControlText. SetControlText is always pinpoint accurate and that's so important when automating som...

Thanks, I hope some will find this useful. I just posted an example to run a compiled script (exe) at Windows Startup without adding a shortcut to the exe to the startup folder, using the registry. http://www.mjtnet.com/forum/post35450.html#35450 The weirdest thing just happened...

Re: Excel Art

We've seen JRL's Macro Scheduler macros drawing shapes on the screen. But how about this amazing art created with Excel: http://www.spoon-tamago.com/2013/05/28/tatsuo-horiuchi-excel-spreadsheet-artist/ If you don't believe that was made in Excel you can download the Excel file at the above URL.

No, I got it just fine the same day I originally posted, thank you!!! For some reason I was seeing only a zero byte file but that cleared up quickly and I am good now. Thank you all for the responses!

Holy Cow!

Way back when I let my license to Macro Scheduler version 7 updates end. Then it became a professional necessity to renew my license and I kept with it through version 10. Talk about a sheetload [sic] of updates to the program between 7 and 10! What kind of dummy would let his upgrade license lapse ...

Thanks a bundle Rain, it's very useful, especially considering that today is the first day that I'm using Win8, which for now I'm calling 'The Beast' -- Win8 that is, not your script!

Difficulty downloading registered version - zero byte file

Hi, It's been a while since I used MS but I decided with a new OS I would upgrade my license. I've been having nothing but bad luck with the whole upgrade process. It's certainly not as smooth as I remember it being. I am wondering, does Marcus still come around here on the weekend? I hope that I do...

Re: Tried v13:'a monitor program has been found" by Win

Since I have some difficulties with capturing text in v12, I tried v13. Install went OK. When v13 starts, a message is displayed: 'A monitor program has been found running in your system. Please unload it ...." It seems this message is cumming from: nlsX86cc This service enables products that use t...

Re: In what environment will Macro Scheduler run best?

I have a few scripts running on my machine in a "beta" mode. They are working well. Now I want to move them to a different machine that will run the scripts non-stop throughout the day. Is there an optimal configuration for a Macro Scheduler unattended PC? Should I turn off automatic windows update...

Another method to get the last access time would be to use the VBS File System Object, it is accurate to the second. I've turned off the last accessed feature on my NTFS drives to save a bit of overhead so I am not really able to test this with WAV files recently accessed - it's on by default so unl...

Haven't had the need to do this but it could be done using WScript.Shell.
