minimizing unexpected interference during macro execution
#1
I've created a nice macro system as a shell around QuickBooks to simplify and validate data entry. It seems to function flawlessly, however, the other day, while it was running, The Window's XP Automatic Updates system popped up with the window asking me if I wanted to install the new updates it had downloaded. Without my doing anything, my macro went crazy sending keystrokes everywhere, and ignoring my "rightclick-end macro" efforts on the tray icon. I had to power down to end it.

Is this something I can prevent?

I'd like to distribute this macro to other clients of mine (I'll need to find out the site licensing price, too) but this was unsettling, as I can't possibly test it against the large number of other apps that may pop up unexpectedly.
