I've added some functionality to minimize VBA when suspending and restarting Rules scripts. It will be available soon.

The "save actions" button will do this- as does clicking on a rule - it will pop up the "Save Actions" dialog. I don't know if having it "automatically refresh" i.e. as soon as you go to Edit Actions - and close VBA the change is done - is a good or bad idea??? Thom, I want to be able to copy a step from one project to another project with all the actions under that step. Whenever I do this and save it, I do not see anything pop up. I only see this when I click edit a particular action in a script. We are looking for rapid application development and it will be a tremedous benefit to our developers to be able to copy and paste code from one project to another. So far the only other option is the copy (import) a whole script into a project, but it still does not allow me to edit a particular steps actions by copying data into it and saving it. I thought I heard in your web-n-R that if we copy all the data from a script module to a new module we create, edit and save it, then copy all back into the script module, the changes would happen. It doesn't appear so. If I am not able to do this, I have to spend time kicking off the script and wasting time duplicating my efforts jumping from screen to screen recapturing data points again. This would be repetitive tasks. It needs to be more object oriented. 2. I've asked about having this before - from what I was told - we have no control over "preventing VBA" from appearing when it is forced to go into Debug mode (can't force a close either) because when you close VBA when it is in a debug state, it stops debugging - but hey can't hurt to ask again and I know Rich is listening :) If it is not possible to close the window, maybe you can minimize the window so it just stays on the windows bar. The issue is not that it opens, but that it is maximized and we have to either close it or minimize it it to get to the BWS window. I think minimizing it will do the trick!

Refresh button to refresh the New Script Rules window. Whenever I update the script using VBA and close it, I do not see the changes. I prob have to exit out and come back in. I'm not sure this works even though. 2. Whenever I pause the script when running, it kicks off the VBA which is very annoying. This option should be disabled.

Here is another good feature to add in future releases. Sometimes I have two boston workstation projects open on two windows. It would be nice to be able to drag the actions from one window and put them in another project. I usually do this with a lot of microsoft applications such as microsoft visual studio and it helps with rapid application development.
