Time_Out for an Input Window?

edauthier · Post by **edauthier** » Tue Jun 03, 2003 2:43 pm

Hello,
I am having a brain cramp for macro that at times I would like to interact with and other times let run on it's own; based on lack of input.

So the input window would appear and if in 'x' amount of time there's no entry into the window it would continue on it's path.

Hope that makes sense.

Thanks, Ed

Replace this:
Input>var,Do you realy like G.W.Bush ?, NO

with that:
Input>var,Do you realy like G.W.Bush ?,NO

-> get rid of the additional space in the default variable
