Here is the script I use, in Windows 10 (I believe it will work in Windows 7 as well, but not sure how far back beyond that). I associate a Hot Key with my script so that I can use it at any time.

Thank you so very much for helping with this, Marcus.

I have tested it in Word 2010 and it works fine.

Managing the find and replace values as variables is exactly what I was hoping to accomplish.

It will be in use in a solution for our sales team very soon!

VBA Word Find & Replace Macro / Need to convert to VB Sc

I think this code will be useful to any of us who do merges into Microsoft Word using Macro Scheduler. What is really nice about this is that it does replaces in the Header and Footer, which the normal functions in Word do not do. I found the following code... Public Sub FindReplaceAnywhere() Dim rn...

Application used to work with Image Recognition not visible

I have an application that has been working well with Image Recognition on a Win8 machine. I have been using Macro Scheduler 13. Recently, that one app no long allows Macro Scheduler to interact with the screen, even though Macro Scheduler returns a positive result for image found. Nothing can get c...

I spent some more time troubleshooting my environment today -- got it working fine again -- so wanted to pass this along in case it may be helpful to others at some point. I could run a simple .bat file after the fix above, but all of my complex .bat files wh...

Thank you!

The /k argument is really helpful.

With my typo fixed, my test program is working very well now.

Now, onward to test some additional .bat files. It is so much nice to run them from within Macro Scheduler than any other way.

I'm wondering if any of the forum members know of or have developed a function to find the most recently updated file in a folder. I have some functions that output the entire DIR in date sort order and then I can get the last file, however, in this case the directory is very large and the DIR outpu...

Hello Steen, If you are running this on one PC, you may want to try Image Recognition. I use it quite a bit and it works well. There are some good examples on the site and I found that modularizing it a bit made it even easier to utilize to automate a number of steps in conjunction with regular scri...

Thank you, Marcus.

A big help!

Adding some very clear instructions to the Help file / Command instructions would also make this much more clear.
