Ah I see. If there is a script A and script B...well the issue now is that the script A schedule might not advance until script B has completed, rather than advancing when script A has finished. It does always advance if I wait long enough though. It seems to be some sort of threading issue maybe?? ...

hello, does there happen to be an update on this issue? this problem is still occurring intermittently for us. thanks,

thanks very much for looking into it. just to clarify, in my experience the next scheduled time works fine for me when the macro successfully completes. i think maybe when it hasn't scheduled the next time correctly (and screen stays unlocked), the macro just hasn't actually completely due to the ot...

Happened again earlier -- no rogue Excel.exe instance and everything was fine after the download script finished. I think the print script should not be getting "stuck" on the download script's process. Is this something that can be fixed? Thanks! Possible issues: - Scheduler issue with two scripts ...

I checked last time for an Excel instance and didnt see one in task manager. It sounds like it could possibly be the download script, but this situation where it is still running happens multiple times a day every day but the print script normally completes as planned.

Okay scheduler died again. So as mentioned before basically this script just calls an Excel workbook (which runs a macro), sends out a log when the workbook is done, then is finished. At this point the next schedule should be set and the screen locked. However, the next schedule is not set and the s...

Ugh, happened again today. Excel workbook macro actually completely finishes. Unfortunately I forgot to look at the Macro Scheduler script so I wasn't able to tell if it dies before completion of the the Excel step or after. Repeating schedule for this macro stops working and desktop remains unlocke...

Alright well as soon as I post...error appears the same day. Maybe I shouldn't have replied! Log doesn't really tell anything; it looks like it calls Excel and never finishes the step: 2015/2/2 17:05:01:208 - 358: // Main entry point 2015/2/2 17:05:01:208 - 360: GoSub>PrintReports 2015/2/2 17:05:01:...

Well I seem to have possibly fixed the issue, but I'm not certain. I changed: SRT>PrintReports Let>RP_WAIT=1 WriteLn>%logfile%,result, Printing reports RunProgram>C:\Folder\EXCEL.EXE "H:\Folder\MyExcelFile.xlsm" Let>RP_WAIT=0 END>PrintReports ...to: SRT>PrintReports Let>RP_WAIT=1 WriteLn>%logfile%,r...

i do but i'll need to check if it gets wiped out every run or not. if it does i'll set it to save all and wait til it crashes again before reporting back, thanks

was there ever a resolution to this problem? i've been having this problem for the last couple of months now and it's quite annoying. especially since things had been fine for a year or two. i have my script set to run every 10 min from noon until 6pm. sometimes the script takes longer than 10 min t...

It's not in IE, it's in the Macro Scheduler program itself.

Macro Scheduler 14 > Tools > Options

Also...make sure AutoLogon is enabled and set with the correct credentials in the script. Under the AutoLogon tab.

i rebooted my computer and the problem has fixed itself now. but this wasn't the first time it's happened. should i still send you the file or wait until next time it gets caught in the never-ending loop?

i'm having some strange behavior with the scheduler and was wondering if i am doing something wrong or what. i have a script that is set to run at 18:00, repeat every 10 minutes, and when repeating stop and reset at/after 23:55. however when i come into the office in the morning, i find that the scr...

well this doesn't fix the underlying problem, but have you tried putting in a delay like marcus suggested? all i did was add a Wait>5 after IE_Quit, and before opening another instance of IE. what are you trying to do immediately after closing the browser instance? With the 5 second delay I haven't ...
