Fixing macros that are not running

If you run a macro and receive errors when using the remote services, verify that necessary folders are created and that you have the correct permissions to them.

About this task

These errors might be related to logging onto your computer as a non-administrator. Verifying that you have the correct permissions to the directories listed in this topic can correct the issues without requiring you to log in to your computer as an administrator.

Procedure

  1. Verify the permissions of the Desktop folder. If you do not have a Desktop folder in the systemprofile directory, create one. You must have read and execute, list folder contents, and read permissions for the Desktop folder. Example:
    • Windows: C:\Windows\System32\config\systemprofile\Desktop
  2. Verify the permissions for the roaming Microsoft application data folder. You must have modify, read and execute, list folder contents, and read permissions for the desktop folder. Example:
    • Windows: C:\Windows\System32\config\systemprofile\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft
  3. Verify the permissions for the local Microsoft application data folder. You must have modify, read and execute, list folder contents, and read permissions for the desktop folder. Example:
    • Windows: C:\Windows\System32\config\systemprofile\AppData\Local\Microsoft
