New user trying to schedule macro

[robblackburn]

I am a new user with the program. I have successfully recorded my macro and it works fine but I am having trouble getting the scheduler to run the macro. I am currently using the trial version but will purchase if everything works. Does the application workspace macro need to be running all the time for the macro to run. The scheduler will start the macro but I get the trial version screen and have to manually click the try it button. After running it seems to close the workspace macro app and then it will not run again. Thanks for the help.

Hello,

Scheduled macro does not require Workspace Macro Application to be open because at scheduled time when macro starts running, it will launch Workspace Macro and after macro finishes, it unloads the the Workspace Macro. Next time another scheduled macro starts, it will again launch Workspace Macro. If you want to open the application, you can open it from Start->Programs->Workspace Macro.

The trial version box, does not appear once you purchase the software and register it.

Hope that helps!

You need to schedule a task from windows, here is what I did, I have Windows XP

Open wsmacro-pro, locate the macro you want to schedule, right click it w/ the mouse. and select 'locate on disk' The folder will pop up, make note of the location.

Next, locate your task schedule option in W/XP. (I didnt know where mine was so I opened Control Pane, clicked 'Folders' and found it there)

Click Add scheduled Task, then 'next', then 'browse' then duplicate the 'locate on disk' address, and click ok. then hit next again and schedule your task at the same time.

Mine wiorked when I did that, but oddly it also lanuches MS Works every time too, go figure.
