Save as.. Shortcut

[Harry]

Hi together!

I am using Lyric 5.24 and want to use a shortcut or a Macro for the "Save As..." Function. Frankly spoken - I am tired of maneuvering the mouse around for seconds to save one single message for Postproduction :)

can anyone help please?

With best regards,
Harry

set WshShell=CreateObject ("WScript.Shell")

WshShell.SendKeys "{F6}"

WshShell.SendKeys "%fa"

[Harry]

Thanks alot!

One more thing .. how can i tell Lyric the File Extension and the name? Is this also possible via Macro?

with best regards!

Yes, after the ALT+F, A add a TAB (tabs down to the file type box), hit HOME (goes to top of list), and hit the letter which drops you down to the proper choice.

everything works fine except for one tiny little flaw :

If i want the makro to work in line it wont work - for example

opening the Save As Menu ..OK
then selecting and setting the Name of the File .. OK
and then choosing the Filetype .. NOT OK

opening the Save As Menu ..OK
and then choosing the Filetype ..OK
then selecting and setting the Name of the File .. NOT OK

On its own every procedure works but if i want to execute more than 1 wshShell operation it seems to override the other one

Problem solved!

works fine now.. just made a mistake with the Key-identifiers.

Thanks alot for your help!
