Need Help! Macro can not record all processes.

Post by jenosize » Mon Feb 16, 2009 11:37 am

i've tried to use Macro Scheduler(demo lastest version) and I record how to work on exel,
such as copy&paste task. I record about 5 minutes and press ctrl+alt+s to stop the record. Then, I run the record to see the result.

it's work good but it come out same as I record only 2 minutes (from total 5 minutes).

It doesn't record all tasks in 5 minutes.!!

I did it many times, but the results are the same.....

Do you have any suggestions to solve this problem???

Thank you :)

There is no time limit, but you could do mulitple recording sessions.

Start recording and halt it after 2 mins. save the recorded scripts.
Start recording for another few minutes. save the recorded scripts and paste it to the end of the first one.
Repeat recording and pasting to the original until done.

Again, you should not need to do this, only trying to provide a workaround until you can properly diagnose the problem. While recording, are you using any key commands that could stop/pause the macro recorder? I believe that CTL-ALT-S and/or SH-ESC will stop the recorder.

Also, be sure the read the Help on Recording Macros.
Hope this was helpful..................good luck,
