Hi,
I'm trying to call a compiled macro with SendEvent (I'm using FMP 7.0).
I read on another forum to store four doublequotes in a field called QMK, store the path and macro name in another field and then call it this way:
"cmd /c " & QMK & macroname & QMK
This works fine. It calls my macro successfully.
However...now I want to call the macro with a parameter. So if I were running it from the windows command line, I'd put:
mymacro.exe "close"
So my question is, how do I call it from the SendEvent script command but also pass it the "close" parameter?
I've tried different things, but FMP seems to think I'm trying to call a program called "mymacro.exe close" instead of calling mymacro.exe with the "close" parameter. The macro never gets called.
Any help would be appreciated.
TIA, Susie
