Hello Mark,

No one can respond your post in any meaningful manner as long as the script in question is missing. The probable cause would too fast for your unindentified online game to handle the keyestrokes simulated by Macro Scheduler.

Not sure if this is too obvious, but are you using setfocus> to make sure you're in the right window?

Also armsys is right with regards to speed. I frequently have to put a wait>0.05 after setfocus or keystroke commands because it's just waaaay too fast. Not that that's a bad thing, mind.
