Everybody has them (PP). Something that is insignificant yet makes you cringe. Like the F150 I seen (PP) parked sideways in front of an EV charging station. A deliberate ICING event using a known gas hog. Or the misuse of "there" - a position vs "their" - belonging to them vs "they're" - a contracti...

I don't want to change my regional date setting to test but as I recall GetDate> presents in the format specified in regional settings. For Add> and Sub> to work with a date the date has to be in month/day/year format. No other format will work. You can use 1 digit month and day as well as 2 digit y...

This should work in version 4 onward. //Pure Macro Scheduler Month>mm Day>dd Year>yyyy Let>today=%mm%/%dd%/%yyyy% Sub>today,1 //Variable today is now yesterday's date. MDL>today //Or VBScript VBStart VBEnd VBEval>now-1,yesterday MDL>yesterday //The result is date and time //To have only the date Sep...

Can someone offer a suggestion as to what else I can test or look at? Windows Defender??? I have not kept official data but I have executables in version 15 that Defender has not only stopped/prevented from running but deleted the compiled file. I don't recall that ever happening with any previous ...

Open a command prompt. Select "Properties" from the menu when you right click the command icon in the upper left corner. Make sure "Use legacy console..." is unchecked. Above that, make sure "Enable Ctrl Key Shortcuts" is checked. Close save and close any command windows you have open. From now forw...

For 30 years I was either the lone IT guy or the lead IT guy. In either case User Account Control or logging in to my desktop as Administrator or other administrative decisions were mine. Those days are gone. Probably a good thing. I may have been careless. But I did get away with it for 30 years. T...

I believe prime number discovery was an excuse to have a reason to learn how to decipher square roots. Or was that square root deciphering was a reason to have a book full of prime numbers? Here we are at the end of October or more precisely the start of November. Its time to announce the "winner" ...

So you've got a problem and you want to be able to post an image on the forum to help others diagnose your issue. But you can't. What you can do is post a link to an image that you place on some other web page. And most images currently posted on the forum seem to work as well as the one above. They...

@hagchr, I've not yet examined your latest offering. Hopefully get to it before Monday. @The World Here is what I started with. It is as I was taught when these were done longhand using paper and pencil. I believe prime number discovery was an excuse to have a reason to learn how to decipher square ...

hagchr, Thanks for playing. I like your concept. The only downside I see is that the request was for the first 10,000 prime numbers and you instead used the ten thousandth prime number as your limiter. Not difficult when the value is provided to you but when the request comes in for the first 1,000,...

I just did a forum search and found zero references to this topic. It is an otherwise very well covered subject that I've personally never had much interest in. Almost everybody has heard of it and almost no one knows what its good for. I'm talking about prime numbers. For puzzler #14 we wonder how ...

That line has been in the default dialog definition since v12 was introduced. Here's a 12 year old example. https://www.mjtnet.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=6187&p=27423&hilit=HelpContext#p27423 Does the HelpContext line accomplish anything? Until now, never heard of it causing any issues. Unless I ...

Sorry I don't have time to write this for you but I think you're on the right track. What I would do is: - Invoke the semi-transparent dialog and click on the dialog. - Capture the click location and directly after move the mouse to a safe location. - Directly after that close the semi-transparent d...

One thing not mentioned in the "Controlling Apps that Run as Admin" blog is that any program started by a program that is elevated is also elevated. What I've done in cases such as yours is to create my Macro Scheduler executable such that it requires running as admin so I don't forget that it needs...

Glad the previous code sample is working for you. For a different perspective. Because I usually use modal dialogs I use the MoveWindow> function to preset dialog positions. Don't need a loop after the dialog calls. Changed the x position for Dialog3 as I only have one monitor. Dialog>Dialog1 object...
