Running macros saved on another computer (Read 3108 times)

	I am experimenting with running Sesame on a networked computer. I have some macros in my program to open, close, and backup sesame. When I open the program from a network computer the macros fail to open. Is there a way to make this work?

	Hello Leezerd, I need a little bit more information about your setup. What do you mean by networked computer? Are you running Sesame Client/Server or are you running Sesame across the network by just running the Sesame Executable on another computer? Where are the macros located? Where is the application(your .DB and .DAT files) located? -Ray

	Ray, I have two computers running the Sesame executable: Comp. A and Comp. B Comp. A has the Executable, the macros, and the .db, .dat files. Comp. B has just the Executable. Lee

	Hello Lee, In the call to @Macro or @DeferredMacro what have you specified the path as? Is CompA running Sesame Server and CompB Sesame Client or are you running the executable on CompB and then navigating to CompA and opening the application file from there? -Ray

	I am running the executable on CompB. Have placed a shortcut to the .db file on CompA on the desktop of CompB. path for the macro looks like this: @macro("\D:\My Documents\Sesame\Data\bkupxtbpi.mac")

	Hello Lee, I believe I see the problem. When CompB sees @macro("\D:\My Documents\Sesame\Data\bkupxtbpi.mac") it looks for it's D drive. It has no idea that the macros are actually on CompA's D Drive. What you can do is change the @Macro call to something like this @macro("\\CompA\D\My Documents\Sesame\Data\bkupxtbpi.mac"). You will need to replace CompA with the actual name of that computer and replace the D with whatever CompA's D drive is shared as. -Ray

	Thanks Ray! It was the name of the drive on CompA that was the missing piece. I was using the drive letter (D:\) instead. Again thanks for your help.
