Several macro files running at the same time - will it cause conflict?

Hi,

I have several macro files that executes individually but runs on the same time. I'm calling these macro files from a batch file, then had this batch file scheduled on a specific time. NOw my problem is, will my macros runs smoothly and will not conflict w/ one another. I have this "application.quit" code inside, i'm afraid this will affect my other macro files and will prematurely close the files w/o finishing the process yet. Please advise on what is the best way I should do to avoid errors and conflict w/ other macro files.

Thanks in advance.

Howdy. Macros can only run one at a time. If you have a sequence that is necessary, then set up another macro that calls each individual macro in the order you desire.

thanks shades.

is there some other way to do this? the individual macro belongs to separate reports that runs on a different time. and the macro is just one of the processes for each report.
