[EnergyPlus_Support] Re: include using macros

["Jean marais" <jeannieboef@xxxxxxxxx>]

Thank you, Linda.

I downloaded the file and simply copy paste overwrote the existing EPMacro.exe. I closed EP-Launch and reopened and re-ran with the same errors. You suspect the absolute file name length is a problem? I will try off C: to check, but first I just want to ask you:

Q1) does the imf include other imf files or idf files...I tried both and it did not work, but I want to ask anyway.

PS We don't thank you enough, but you, Richard, Dru and Dr Li are the heart beat of e+ and the forum for us. Thanks.
