Can't Save Changes To Macro

ldevito · Post by **ldevito** » Wed Jan 22, 2003 6:13 pm

I recently moved Macro Scheduler from my PC to another PC that I am dedicating solely for running scheduled scripts. Now when I go to edit a macro and try to save my changes, I get the following error message:

"Unable to save macro - it may be in use. Pressing Shift-ESC will stop all running macros. Do you want to continue closing macro and lose changes?"

Any ideas why? Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi,

Check that the directory that Macro Scheduler is installed in is not write protected. Make sure you are logged in under the same user that installed it.

Hi Idevito,

Do you edit the script which is currently running?

Thanks for the replies. The macro was not running and I was unable to edit and save the changes on the new PC. I do think it has something to do with my logging into the network differently on this new PC. What I ended up doing was making the changes on the old PC, saving them to a floppy, and copying them to the new PC. This worked.

In the future, I don't think I will have any problems as long as I start creating the scripts on this new PC and don't move them to another PC for further development.

Thanks for all of the help. This message board is a great tool for troubleshooting.
