Running macro from another drive

Post by Craig Bourne » Mon Jun 23, 2008 8:50 pm

I would like to have my macro on a different drive and be run from that location, without importing it. Is that possible?

When you say " a diferent drive", do you mean another machine, or do you mean a different drive on the same machine?

You can store your macros on ony network shared location and any machine can run the macro from there if the group path is set to that location. But such macros need to be written taking into consideration such things as mapped drives, etc.

If the macro is compiled it can be run from any machine with or without Macro Scheduler installed. Again, designs need to anticipate multiple environments.

But, I am still confused about what you mean to run from a different drive.
Can you be more specific about the environment and the macro task?
Hope this was helpful..................good luck,

You gave me what I needed.
Confirmed that I CAN place the macro script on another drive.
And turned me on to the missing piece - setting up a Group.
Thanks.
