ACC97: RunApp Macro Action Does Not Open MS Money ProperlyID: Q180904
|
Moderate: Requires basic macro, coding, and interoperability skills.
When you use the RunApp macro action to open Microsoft Money version 4.0 or
5.0, the program does not open properly. The behavior varies depending on
the version of Microsoft Money that you are using.
Not enough memory is available. If you have several applications open at the same time, you might need to close one of them before you start Money.
Microsoft Money is already running.
If you are using Microsoft Money 4.0 or 5.0, you can use the Shell()
function in a Visual Basic for Applications procedure in place of the
RunApp macro action to open Microsoft Money. To do so, follow these steps:
Shell "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Money\msmoney.exe"
