Problems with @Macro

Print Post Print Post  
I am trying to set up a form for navigating to the rest of the forms within a database.  I used the @Macro to call the macro's I recorded for this.  I keep getting a message saying the macro failed to load.  When I click on OK it finishes closing the form and then runs the macro I wanted, and everything works great.  I just keep getting the error message.

Code looks like this
@Exit
@Macro ("MyMacro")

The @Exit was the only way to get the macro to work after the error message.  Without @Exit the macro does not run at all.

Hello,

Try specifying the macro file extension.

@Macro ("MyMacro.mac")

Dale,

If the form is in the same application, you can use programming rather than macros.

You could use something like this to open a form:
Code
Select All
var Success as int

Success = @SelectTreeItem(@Application + "!Forms!Add Data!Invoice!Invoice")

I use this code in my Main Menu form to open my invoice form in add mode.
