There's not enough info to work with. Under what
circumstances are
you running the script?
The process in question opens, modifies, prints and
then saves a folder of Excel files. It uses GUI
scripting and therefor is susceptible to errors if a
user inputs anything by keyboard or mouse. So can I
suspend input until the script finishes? If so how?
Also, how do I post a dialog that tells the user that
they must wait until the process is finished. And
what do I do if the process hangs up and never
finishes? Is there a "time limit" parameter for my
lock out?
So many questions !!!!
Thanks
Oakley
