Can someone tell me how to create an HTML folded in the GSAK folder so I can see if the macro runs for me?

pud:
I use Windows7 - 64 bit OS. In my case, that html file created by the macro was placed in the C:/Users/xxmy namexx/AppData/Roaming/gsak/html folder. The "xxmy namexx' is my personal computer user name. You will need to instead substitute your name here.

I did nothing to place the GC2W43.html file there, the macro did that.

The gsak/html folder was already on the HDD as this is where the GSAK FindStatGen macro places it's html file.

I think Gav's onto it. You are probably running a different Windows OS.

Thanks Ed, I'll try that tonight when I have a little more time and see how it goes.

Yep, if you're on Windows 7 you need to create the ~/AppData/Roaming/gsak/html folder.

The easy alternative is to download and run FindStatGen, it will create the folder for you. I'll rip out the folder creation code from FSG and test it later on my macros and fix this.

OK, this should fix it. There is now code cut-and-pasted from the FSG macro to check and create the html folder. It should work fine now. That's the only change in the code.

Got it working.
Thanks
But maybe I shouldn't have looked because I still have heaps to go.
