Hi Grayson,

probably you need to fix the double quotes. Some text editors change them into different ones, which are not understood by the macro interpreter.

   macro "AutoRun" {
        eval("js","IJ.getInstance().setVisible(false)");
        run ("APC Rating");
  }

IHTH

Hi Wayne,

Thank you for getting back to me with those tips. I tried using the macro code solution and inserted the method you should me into my AutoRun macro that's in the StartupMacros.txt file.

Here is the macro that I have:

   macro "AutoRun" {
        eval(“js”,”IJ.getInstance().setVisible(false)”);
        run ("APC Rating");
  }

Where "APC Rating" is the plugin that I mentioned in my first post.

Below is the Macro Error that shows up when I start ImageJ:

It appears to ot recognize "js". Do you know why this is happening?

Thank you,
Grayson
