Hello!

I'm new to AC Tool and i find it quite interesting!

I was expecting that it would be like a program language, let's say C++,
and that i could write my code and create an executable file with the macro.

I was completely amazed and disappointed when when i saw that when i double click
the macro file instead of just running the macro, it opens AC Tools and you have to
manually start the macro!

I found a way to in a way, overcome this and with a shortcut of AC Tools, to start the
macro i want.

But still running the AC Tools is required for the macro file to work!!

Can't a .mac file just work as a "standalone" file????
Can't I avoid having to start the AC Tools program every time i want to run a .mac file???

I would like to just double click on my .mac file and to instantly have my macro running!

Is that possible?? And if not why...???????

Thank you!

NO
Associate .mac with AcTool and you can double click the .mac but for a .mac to run it *must* have ACTool running.
Why ask why? It was programmed like this by Cam and if it doesn't fit your wants and/or needs then use autoit.
No problem.

OK, I can say that you have sufficiently answered all my questions and for that I'm grateful!

Thank you very much!!!

You are very welcome.

You can put -start parameter on the shortcut, and AcTool will run and start the script automatically.

"C:\Program Files\AC Tool\ACTool.exe" -start "C:\Macros\MyMacro.mac"
