Batch process merge and detach alert box

Unknown said:

There is a prompt to click OK after both commands

Which command key-ins cause the prompt?

I'm using the following commands:

reference merge border

reference detach all

Was this question ever answered? We are running into the same issue where people on different machines running the same batch process are crashing because the alert boxes have not been disabled prior to running the batch process.

try and record a vba macro first do the the merge ( file name)

then keyin reference detach all and select the ok button ..( I just tried tried it and  does record all steps including the accept)

you can then run this  macro in your  batch process..via the script command  vba run ( vba project name) module name     < FYI  you have to name these.

I have run macros inside batch processor before and they work fine ...

try and record a VBA macro

Five gold stars!

Recording a VBA macro.

Our batch process currently runs a macro and these commands are already included there. This solution only solves the problem if the alert has NOT been answered prior to invoking the process. If the alert has already been removed from the loop, the macro ceases to work properly.

The only workaround we have found so far is to keyin the offending command manually; answer the alert prompt and select "Do Not Display Again"; close MicroStation; then open MicroStation and run the Batch Process as intended. We need something that will disable the alerts while batch processes are running.

mine works perfect for me  dont, I  have to click dont  show anymore, I  only  clicked ok once and it got recorded as VBA macro, try running   inside batch processor...

did not add the  merge ref  as you'll need to edit  the VBA macro your self 

attached my  vba macro here for you to try...

you need to just have  one line in the  batch processor file 

VBA run { vbaproject name} macroname.subroutinename

and in the batch process you defined which files to process,

and it just reruns the vbamacro  over and over on each file it  opens  no need to ok or  never  click choose never show again ( I hate doing that  as  it has impact)

detachAll.mvba

I'll give it a shot. Thank you.
