When the Macro File is Loaded

 

This is similar to the At Startup schedule with one difference. Any time that the macro file containing the scheduled macro is loaded, the macro runs. When Macro Express loads, the file opens and the macro plays back.

 

 

Macro Express Explorer > Macro > Add Macro - Or click on New Macro Icon

 

 

Schedule

Every time this event occurs

Select this option to play back the macro every time the file loads. If another macro file is opened and then the original file containing the scheduled macro is reopened, the macro executes. Or if Macro Express is shut down during the day and later restarted, the macro runs.

 

Only the first time this occurs for the day

This option limits the playback to just once a day. The first time the file loads for the day, the macro will play back - but not afterwards, until the next day.
