Hi,

I need help, I m new and trying some easy action by Open Macrosoft Navision Database and then Close the Database. I have create exe to be executed at certain time by Window Scheduled Task. This worked when my window is on active mode. If i logout from my window the script does not work.

Following is my script
//Script Begin
//To Run and Open Navision Database
RunProgram>"C:\Program Files\Navision 3.70\Client\fin.exe" database="C:\Program Files\Navision 3.70\Client\database.fdb"

WAIT 3

//To Log out or Close Microsoft Navision Navision
Press ALT
SendText>fx
Release ALT

//Script END

When you log out of Windows there is no user console, no input console and windows cease to exist. Therefore when you are logged out of Windows or Windows is locked nothing, not even a macro, can simulate user activity or interact with windows.

In short - you need to make sure you stay logged in for the duration of the macro.
