The script only runs when Try button activated.
Without seeing the macro, it's impossible to know what's going on. But if other macros run with the Run button, there must be something about this one that's making it fail. Can you post the macro?

The first thing I see is that you have it set to run when you type a click, which is a non-functional setting. You should have a hot key in there, i.e. Shift-Control-A or something.
And to make sure I understand, when you're in the Keyboard Maestro editor with that macro selected, clicking Run does nothing at all? If you put a Display Text action (Display Text: HERE I AM!) after the first action in your macro, does it appear when you press Run? If so, move it to after the second action, repeat until it fails.
(The debugger can do this for you sort of automatically, but this is a bit easier to explain if you've never used the debugger before.)
I would be very surprised if it doesn't appear at all; let me know how it goes.
-rob.
Adding the display text worked, but only if I use the Try button
Click on your macro's group name in the left column to see if the macro is active in the application you're in when you want to run it.
Whay I really would like to do is have the whole macro run a set number of times. I am not sure how to do that yet, but until I get the Run button working I am nor sure if I can even do that.

Your macro is disabled. Enable it by clicking the checkbox to the left of the circled portion. If that still doesn’t work, and that “when macro is enabled” notice doesn’t disappear, then check to make sure it’s in a macro group that allows you to execute it. An easy way to do this is to temporarily move it to your Global Macro Group to test it.

Thanks. I didn't notice that it was missing.
