WaitScreenImage Not Working With ScreenShot

Good Day! I am using WaitScreenImage successfully on one of my computers, using a screenshot I took from SAP. The screenshot is just a notification that there is no data selected for the SAP script. When I compile the script as an EXE and include the image we're trying to locate, everything still wo...

Cannot Create File ".tmp". Access is Denied

I have a virtual machine that I share with a coworker. We have some scripts saved to a network drive that we run from the VM. When I log in to the VM and run our macros, everything works as expected. When my coworker tries to launch a macro, he gets the following error. Cannot create file "C:\Progra...

ExecuteFile MS Access Navigation Pane Issues

I have a Microsoft Access 2016 database set to hide the Navigation pane. I did this via Options > Current Database. When I open it manually and when I open it via MacroScheduler without calling a macro, the database opens as expected; The main form is displayed and the Navigation pane is hidden. If ...

How To Get VBEVAL Result?

I have the following VB/VBEVAL code and all I want to do is get the result back from VB! I keep reading here and there in the forums that this can be done, but I am struggling. I just want to evaluate the result outside of VB. function RunSAP vbstart on error resume next If Not IsObject(application)...

Re: Icon removed from compiled exe on network location?

Yeah, Marcus, you were right! Today the proper icon is there. It seemed far-fetched that the icon was somehow being stripped out.

All right, everybody relax. Everything's fine.

Icon removed from compiled exe on network location?

If I compile a macro into an executable and save it on my local drive, I get the exe with the icon I specified. If I copy/paste that .exe to a network location, the icon reverts back to the default icon. When I try to generate the .exe directly to a network location, the .exe is generated but the cu...

Automatically Detect MS Office Install Location

I am working on a script which needs to run an MS Access macro. Typically I do this with RunProgram> as ExecuteFile doesn't have a macro argument. My issue is that I won't know which version of MS Office the user will have. I guess I could look for MSACCESS.EXE in multiple folders, but it's harder t...

Jobs Running Way Too Many Times

I am having an issue where jobs which are only scheduled to run one time, once a day, are running over and over. They kick off at the scheduled time, complete the entire script, then instead of stopping, they run over and over until I intervene. Today a job sent out 300 emails before I got into the ...

Re: WriteLine Taking Too Long?

Ugh, it looks like you're right (I can't be sure, though, because our endpoint protection is so robust that I can't seem to disable it to test.). I realized that the times when the job ran quickly were when I manually kicked off the job. It looks like when the job gets scheduled, the files get inter...

Re: WriteLine Taking Too Long?

I rewrote the script to hold all of the programs for a single PO in a variable, so the WriteLine event only happens once per PO. It ran super fast the first couple of times I ran it but now it's running slow again. At the start of the job I delete all of the files in C:\tasklist\. I verified that al...

WriteLine Taking Too Long?

I have a script which retrieves data from a SQL table with the following structure. It then creates a text file for each PO and then uses WriteLine to populate them with the relevant Programs. This was running super fast last week, in 3-5 seconds. This week it can take between 3 and 11 minutes. Look...
