The login macro logs in to Microsoft Dynamics
GP the same way you would as a user. It types the user ID and
password, and selects the appropriate company.
To record the login macro:
Start Microsoft Dynamics GP.
Do not log in.
At the Welcome window, press
alt+F8 to begin recording the login
macro. Name the macro and save it in a known location, such as the
Microsoft Dynamics GP folder.
Log in to Microsoft Dynamics
GP. Be sure to manually type any user ID and password information
so this information is captured by the macro.
Storing the password in a macro could be a
security issue.
After you have logged in to the
accounting system, stop recording the macro. To stop recording the
macro, from the Tools menu,
choose Macro and choose
Stop Record. You also can
press alt+f8 to stop recording.
Edit the macro using a text
editor such as Notepad to add the following line as the second line
of the macro:
Logging file 'macro.log'
Adding this line
prevents any message displayed by the macro, such as the total
running time, from being displayed on the screen and preventing the
login to Microsoft Dynamics GP. Instead, all messages generated by
the macro are written to the MACRO.LOG file.
When you have finished editing the macro, save
your changes.
