Macro question

I created a macro (thanks to Sean and other from my 12/9/03 post) and made
an icon for it. The funny thing is when I click on the icon the first time
(in a new session of IV) it doesn't do anything, and then if I click it
again it runs the macro. It continues to work fine until I restart IV and
then again the first click on the icon does nothing.
Its a minor problem but would like to understand why its doing it.
Thanks,
Vadim

If you choose it from the MACROS menu does it run the 1st time?

Yes but I must first change "Macros in:" field from "document project" to
"all application projects and active documents".

Going from foggy memory, but in the past I have run into issues when trying to access the
VBA environment programmatically. It seems like the environment wasn't initialized until
the first time the user accessed it through the menu. I don't really remember if and how
we got around it. Maybe Charles does?

Have you run it in break mode from the icon to see what is going on?

Maybe some variable initiation isn't firing up well (but that wouldn't
explain why it ran from the MACROS menu.....)

I'm at a loss. Maybe if you post to the Customizatio NG...

Try this. This seams to make more sense (at least to me...hehe)

SendKeys "%t", False
SendKeys "o", False
SendKeys "{RIGHT 3}", False
SendKeys "{TAB 11}", False
SendKeys " ", False
SendKeys "{TAB 1}", False
SendKeys " ", False
SendKeys "{ENTER}", True
