Thanks. I guess the local copy doesn't present the same problem. I've just sent the address/info for the real live web page in an e-mail to support@mjtnet.com in a response re: ticket number 488499. The form on the real page truly will not submit. How bewildering (and fascinating). Any pointer you c...

Hi, I'm trying to use VBscript to fill and submit a seemingly simple Web form without using WebRecorder. I'm able to fill the form (it takes three items of data: last name, first name and e-mail address), but I am unable to submit the form. I'm aware of the discussions of form-submission issues in t...

Actually, there's a much, much easier way. If your spreadsheet file's name is Book1:


GetControlText>Microsoft Excel - Book1,ComboBox,1,Result


The variable Result will be set to equal the contents of the Name Box.

If you could set focus on the Name Box, you could set a Macro Scheduler variable to equal the contents of the Name Box somehow by using the clipboard. Perhaps you or others will find a clue to setting focus on the Name Box in the following excerpt from the Web: ". . . following macro . . . set[s] th...

Ah, me. It turns out that I unnecessarily assumed that, just because the SetCheckBox won't work in a window/dialog, the GetCheckBox won't work either. In MS Outlook, at least, GetCheckBox works fine even when SetCheckBox does not, so all that's necessary to reliably set a particular checkbox to CHEC...

As you've discussed above, in certain programs, the SetCheckBox command doesn't work because, for example, the program expects a mouse click (and not just a BM_SETCHECK). A couple of alternative approaches---invoking an available keyboard shortcut or tabbing to a checkbox and then sending a space---...

Thanks, that sounds great, in general. Sadly, in my case, I'm interested in running the disk defragmenter, and command-line operation of the system's disk defragmenter (dfrg.mcs or its related executables) is not supported under Win XP. (I can't launch the defragmenter using a command-line either ma...

Pending any more elegant a method, I tinkered around and found the following, different method works for me. Below, [FOLDERNAME] is the name of the folder containing the TARGET executable or shortcut you'd like to launch. It might be best to make it a shortcut and to add a couple of unusual letters ...

Sorry, it turns out that, on my XP machine, the script I just ventured above will NOT work. The "Run As" window, when it is pulled up through a script (as opposed to being pulled up manually by the user launching a shortcut or right-clicking on an appilcation) locks up Macro Scheduler, preventing it...

I hope I'm right about this, but on my Windows XP machine, the procedure suggested above would merely activate a Run As [i][b]prompt[/b][/i], which would come up after you execute the shortcut. To achieve the Run As, you would have to add script commands that look for and fill out that subsequent pr...
