Pack and Go - works from IMatch... it is documented

Simply to let others know, this is documented but I had not fully understood the documentation.

I used to close IMatch and then go to Start menu and locate Pack and Go. This was the long way around!

If activated from within IMatch one gets a message that IMatch needs to be closed. Simply perform Database | Exit (without cancelling Pack and Go message window) and IMatch will fire up.

Perhaps the message could be more clear; I will post to Feature enhancement my suggestion.

"IMatch needs to be closed" seems to be pretty obvious. Just click on the "X" button in the IMatch window to close it. Pack & Go recognizes when IMatch is closed and continues automatically.

Mario,
This was the whole issue, that IMatch needs to be closed. The message appears to indicate that Pack and Go cannot be run while IMatch is open and says to close IMatch. Therefore I always cancelled the Pack and Go message, closed IMatch and then manually opened Pack and Go executable. Of course this process was not necessary.

Perhaps "Please close IMatch so Pack & Go can continue" would be clearer.

I like DavidOfMA's suggestion for a less ambiguous warning.

The OP moved this to a feature request, which I already solved for the 5.4.6 version. See there.
