Compiled Application vs Macro Script

Hi,
I have a problem that I need help with. I have written several macros that perfectly do their job when they are run from within MacroScheduler 9.2. When I compile them into standalone applications they fail to perform correctly.
What is the problem? What am I missin?
Thank you.
Val

Most likely culprit is timing. Compiled macros run more efficiently so they might be working faster. Another possibility is that you compiled these to use on another computer. Timing on different computers will rarely be identical.

Try to eliminate static waits (Wait>2) and replace them with logical waits such as WaitWindowOpen> or WaitReady>.

This topic has been discussed at length on the forum.

If the macro accesses/writes files be sure you have the directory paths defined or use the directory variables.

Please post the code then we can help.
