You can use "Save To Disk" to save a copy to your hard drive, then use an
editor to open it (e.g. Notepad).  If you update it, you'll need to
"re-attach" it to your Active Link (select using Macro Name pull-down;
Modify Action, etc.).

You can see macros created by others, but you need to know where they are.
If they're executed via Active Link Run Macro actions, like the one you
described, the above method works fine.  Users can create their own macros,
though, and store them in any directory they have permission and access to.
(.arq files).

Macros aren't easily translated.  Search criteria is pretty
straightforward, but more complex macros can be difficult to follow.  They
really weren't made for editing, more for re-recording (although you need
to understand what it did in the first place).

Before you spend too much effort, you may want to consider moving the
function(s) to Active Link or Filter actions.  Much easier to manage.  You
didn't specify what ARS release you're running, but if it's ARS 6.0 or
later, there isn't much you need macros for.

Hi everybody,

I am opening an active link and there is a Run Macro action in it.  I am
not familiar with Run Macro action and all I see is the name of the macro
and Parameter Name which is "%" and Value which is $SERVER$.  I want to see
what is in the macro so I can make modifications.  How can I see what is in
the macro?  Also is it possible for me to see macros created by other
developers or admins?

I greatly will appreciate your help!!
