you don't need any while isMovings, sleeps or variables for what you're doing. If all you want to do is increment a DRO with each call to the macro ALL you need is the single line

SetUserDRO(1010, GetUserDRO(1010)+1)

Type it into the vb editor and try it - THEN make sure you save it correctly and in the right place. If you do that it will run from the MDI AND from GCode.

Thanks stirling,
think that's my problem. not saved in correct location.
in the mach3 directory in C:\Mach3\macros\MyMill\M1001.m1s
from what i read, this is correct.

The point is that if your macro works in the CB editor then changing the code is irrelevant to your problem. I only provided my code because it's the simplest code to do what you want.

The correct location depends on YOUR profile name. If you're using the standard screenset then your profile is displayed at bottom right on the main (program run) screen. The default is usually Mach3Mill. Then you save your macro as c:\Mach3\macros\YOUR PROFILE NAME\M1001.m1s
