Re: Help with URL GOTO=file:
I made a misleading Statement.
I configured WINDOWS to open all RTF files with Wordpad.
Configured Chrome to "always open" RTF files.

Re: Help with URL GOTO=file:
Thank you Douglas!
I was finally able to reproduce the same behavior you were experiencing. So yes, the issue is that iMacros for Chrome cannot detect that the "page is loaded" when using URL GOTO to open a local file [that has been configured to open in an external application and not in the browser], most likely because no page is ever loaded in this scenario. I'll log this issue for development, but in the meantime my suggested workaround is the best solution. I would also recommend that you reset the !TIMEOUT_PAGE and !ERRORIGNORE values after every URL GOTO that references a local file so that you don't inadvertently miss other errors that might occur in subsequent parts of the macro.
Each call to open a local file should be handled like this:

SET !TIMEOUT_PAGE 1
SET !ERRORIGNORE YES
URL GOTO=file:///<path to local file>
SET !ERRORIGNORE NO
SET !TIMEOUT_PAGE 60

Re: Help with URL GOTO=file:
Tom you have been very helpful. I am confident I can go ahead and purchase the license now.
The work around works great, and thanks for the tip to turn it off after.
I am sorry I was confusing at times, but I am glad you were able to work through it show me I was not crazy.
Douglas

Re: Help with URL GOTO=file:
Unfortunately I still get the error without the
SET !TIMEOUT_PAGE 1
SET !ERRORIGNORE YES
SET !TIMEOUT_PAGE 1
SET !ERRORIGNORE YES

Re: Help with URL GOTO=file:
Sorry for the confusion plinka. The issue that was solved was not the original issue/topic of this thread, but rather the one that chivracq specifically mentioned in the post I quoted:
Using the freeware version to execute the following macro results in the macro hanging on line 1 after the PROMPT dialog is dismissed:
Code: Select all
PROMPT "Please enter the value" !VAR4
Code: Select all
BadParameter: Unsupported variable !VAR4, line: 1
