MACRO PROBLEM - POSTING PURCHASING BATCHES WITH PROGRESS WINDOW

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Phillip Derryberry 150

I have a problem now with a macro that has more than one ClickHit field 'Post Button'. When the Progress window pops up, the POST PURCHASING BATCHES loses focus and the next post errors out with WINDOW NOT ACTIVE even though there is a ActivateWindow. If I change the macro from "POST' to 'SAVE" and no progress window appears, it works fine. Here's the macro in it's current form  -

    Hi Phillip,

    This surprises me, I can run it and it works just fine. I hate to see you have to launch separate jobs, but if it's working for you , that's all that counts.

    Kind regards,

    Leslie

    Tried that beforehand and tried it as you entered and it still errors out. I figured a way around it by launching separate jobs which works fine.

    Phillip,

    You need a line after the 'Post Button' to recognize the Progress Control window. Unfortunately, the macro system does not record this correctly.

    NewActiveWin dictionary 'default'  form 'Progress_Control' window 'Progress_Window'

    An edited version of the meat of your macro that will post both batches without error is below

    Kind regards,

    Leslie
