macro problem with RMS in Vista Matt Hurst 08-01-2008

I have had trouble replaing macros in RMS2sp1 specifically when a sale item
price change requires a reason code. In vista it seems the macro tries to do
events out of order, when in WinXP it doesn't have that problem. Has anyone
else seen this behavior?

There are a number of issues with Vista and RMS, have you applied the latest
hotfix for RMS as it was recently released and resolves most of these issues.

What version are you currently on?

2.0.0117 I think, that's the latest one as far as I know.
2.0.0116 was the service pack one.

After aplying all the most recent patches for vista and RMS, I think I found
MS fix for this problem, they just turned off the function for the macro
button. Ctl-F3 doesn't do anything any more, which fixes the previous
problem that it didn't work.

The closest fix I could find for this problem, was to record the macro in
RMS2sp1 on WinXP, then export the macro and macroevent tables with BCP,
manually adjust some of the Time column values so none of the events tried to
fire at the same time, and then replace the macro and macroevent tables on
the vista machine with the backup, then fix the macroid fields in the
macroevent table to line up with their corresponding macro entries .... and
some of the macros would work after that.
