Attachmate Search Macro

[lisvard]

We recently upgraded attachmate to run on Win7 64bit operating system. Unfortunately, some of our macros are failing, for example our search macro fails and generates a type mismatch error. If the item is on the same page it finds it, but if it's a different page we get the error. Can someone help?

Thanks.

If it is finding it on the same page, but not any other pages, then my thought is that your language in the section for going to the next page is outdated for the attachmate version you upgraded to. As I understand it, there are subtle changes in the language attachmate 'understands' as you upgrade. It is probably as simple as changing one term or function, but I think that is the most help I can give without fully understanding and watching it run/attempt to run.

Thanks for responding nyrtfleury14. Is there a list of new syntax or code for older scripts?

 

[nyrtfleury14]

I am not sure. I am actually having the same issue with someone who is using an upgraded version of attachmate. One snippet of the macro is causing a problem and it is because of the wording not being recognized by the upgraded version. I haven't been able to find any list of changes.
