# Auto typing macro not working in RDP entry

If your auto typing macro no longer works with an RDP entry, the issue may be that Remote Desktop Manager does not automatically focus on the RDP session tab when the connection is established. As a result, the macro is sent to the wrong window.

#### Solution

Configure Remote Desktop Manager to automatically focus the RDP session when connecting:

1. In Remote Desktop Manager, go to ***File*** – ***Settings***.
2. Navigate to ***Entry types*** – ***Sessions*** – ***Remote Desktop (RDP)***.
3. Under the ***Advanced*** section, enable ***Grab focus on connect***.
4. Click ***Save*** to apply your changes.

Once enabled, Remote Desktop Manager will automatically bring the RDP session tab into focus when connecting, allowing the auto typing macro to execute correctly.
