Macros Basic Run Windows Now Showing on Screen

This article describes how to reset the position of the Macros Basic run window when it is not visible on the screen.

Issue

When a Macros Basic macro is run from OMNIC, a small program window normally shows up on the screen.  Occassionally this window will not show up when the macro is running.

Environment

OMNIC

Macros Basic

Resolution

The OmnicSettings.ini file has a line that defines the default position on the screen for this windows to be displayed.  Resetting the default position should allow the window to show up on the screen.

  1. Go to the folder C:\my documents\omnic and double click on the OmnicSettings.ini file.  The file will open in Notepad
  2. Find the line that starts with "mben32=".  
  3. Edit the numbers after the equals sign to be 0,0
  4. Save the file and close Notepad.
  5. Run the macro again and verify the window shows up in the upper left corner of the screen.

 

If this window is moved while it is open, that will update the values in the OmnicSettings.ini to reflect the position on the screen.  The window should then open in this position the next time the macro is run.
