Over 30,000 Forum Posts
Quoting JRL on the forums this morning: Just noticed the forum recently surpassed 30,000 articles. That’s a lot of shared knowledge. Good job everyone It is indeed.

Calling Macro Scheduler Functions from PowerShell
Further to my post about the MacroScript SDK the other day, here’s an example of loading the MacroScript SDK COM object from PowerShell and running some Macro Scheduler code: $objMS = new-object -comobject “mscript.macroscript” $objMS.Init() $objMS.RunCode( “Run>notepad.exe” + [Environment]::NewLine + “WaitWindowOpen>Untitled – Notepad” + [Environment]::NewLine + “Wait>0.5” + [Environment]::NewLine + “Send>Hello World”, “”) $objMS.Cleanup() You […]

I received this in an email yesterday and just had to share it: “Thank you for a truly superior product! I used this at a previous place of employment and developed a system to autopopulate our very static software. When the software vender sent training staff they were so impressed they offered me a job! […]
A Few Site Changes – New Helpdesk and Sharing Links
For years now we’ve been making do with a less-than-perfect open source ticketing system. We’ve lived with missing attachments, emails not always getting through and the lack of embedded images, some garbled mime encodings and various other missing features.
