I am trying to automate a very long tedious processing + plotting procedure, I am calling the .ogs file and passing 5 variables into it, from the Command window. Sometimes the new workbook is created (and activated) successfully and everything goes as it should, but sometimes - no new workbook is created and it tries to use the current active book to do the processing on it instead, which is of course a mess. I tried many things and it seems to be rather random as well, and it does seem to throw any errors. I included a 2s pause before and after newbook command, in case it has to do with some lag between running the script and the actual command execution. I have 'type' statements everywhere trying to figure out what's going on but not much help - it just shows as I expect, sometimes the new book is formed, sometimes it is not and the existing workbook remains the "active" one instead. No error is given at all in the process. If I manually create a blank workbook and set this as the active one prior to running the script, it executes everything as it should (it seems). But the whole point is that I don't want to be creating everything manually .. What reasons could there be? Any other ideas how I can troubleshoot/debug this?   Check here to subscribe to this topic.
