Macros in Windows/MSDOS

[Guest]

Hi All,

I am doing some work which involves doing some repetitive menu actions. Is there any way of recording a macro which will let me put an icon on the toolbar which will execute these commands? It is something I don't want to assign a keyboard shortcut for as it involves selecting Table/Convert to Table... and then clicking on Convert on the resulting dialog box. I have looked in the help files but they only refer to macros on Unix OS. I am using FM 8.0p277 on Windows.

Thanks in anticipation.

Stuart,

For Windows, there are a number of macro recording programs that will work with FM for simple keystroke type of macros. I've used MacroMania from NorthStar with FM before. There's also MacroMagic, WinBatch and probably a whole host of others.

For direct manipulation of FM files, your best bet is FrameScript if you're into script programming instead.
