Say, I want to run w:\t.wcm. I am going to run it from the standard X3
install.
So, I enter this as the program to run in a Window Task Schedule:
"c:\Program Files\WordPerfect Office X3\Programs\ps130.exe"
/#/m-w:\t.wcm
You can also pass parameters in this way too. In the t.wcm macro, I get
the passed parameter value by MacroArgs[1], MacroArgs[2] and so on.

Does anyone know how I would get Windows XP to run a WPX3 macro at
midnight every day?
This code should
1.) At an appointed time every day, say 12 midnight
- Check to see if the computer is hibernating.
- If hibernating then wakes it up and runs my EmailHarvestMacro#1.
- If computer is turned off then it runs the EmailHarvestmacro#1 the
next time it is turned on.
- If computer is on then it runs the procedures as explained below, but
pauses and displays a message box that announces that it is going to run
a macro and gives me time to stop doing other things.

I see that Windows XP has a task scheduler in the Control Panel.
So my problem is really how do I get my EmailHarvestMacro#1 to show up
in that list of programs to schedule.

It appears that the PerfectScript Dlg window that comes up when I
schedule a WPX3 macro will not run that macro but waits for user
interaction. Is there a way to make this Perfect Script dlg window play
the macro automatically?

On my computer the task scheduler in the window called Select Program to
Schedule, the File name box will not allow the name
"c:\Program Files\WordPerfect Office X3\Programs\ps130.exe"
/#/m-w:\t.wcm
It says it is an invalid name.
nor will it allow
c:\Program Files\WordPerfect Office X3\Programs\ps130.exe /#/m-w:\t.wcm
Is there some way to get the /#/m-w:\t.wcm (which I have changed to my
drive and macro name
