Creating EXE Files

Post by AllTemp » Sat Jun 11, 2005 3:49 am

Hello All

BAck in October 2004 you helped me creat a script for a data recorder using a software program called MadgeTech... Recall?

Anway long story short, looks lke someone is messing with my macros and I would like to know if I creat the script using a EXE can I remove all the script tools, editors and macro sheduler from the machine and execute the exe to run 24/7, I am assuming if the exe file is in the start up it will function just lke the macro scheduler did?

A Macro Scheduler compiled program will work all by itself. Nothing else is needed except the EXE file alone, unless you are using scheduling or calling other macros..

You will not have the scheduling tools available, but can use other scheduling tools to trigger the EXE if you need to do that.

If your macro is calling other macros, they will also need to be compiled and your script modified to use Run Program>CompiledName vs. the Macro> command.
Hope this was helpful..................good luck,
Bob

Actually Bob have you tested this, I have a compiled main script on one system I use that calls the .scp files. This makes it easier for me to make modifications to the scripts without recompiling
