My original purpose of useing this tools was to help me to post to various forums I got going on.
Using WebRecorder i have recorded the motions of me signing in to my forum under a username, and going to a new topic and posting. Some of my posts I have formated text using HTML.
As a test, I am able to post regular text in the
Let>FieldValue={"This is my regular text"}
But, if I had formated text in HTML, it did not like it very much. Is there a roundabout solution to this? Perhaps between the " " it makes a call someplace else to get the HTML if it can not be read in the script?
Thank you

Perhaps you're making this more difficult than it really is.
Your line:
Let>FieldValue={"This is my regular text"}
Can be shortened to
Let>FieldValue=This is my regular text
Any HTML text can be assigned to a variable in the same way. One thing you need to understand is that all of the text assigned with a single let> must appear on the same line. If you want it to show up on multiple lines when you "paste it" to where you intend to use it, you place the sytem variable for carriage return and line feed into the line. It will look like this:
%CRLF%
For example:
Let>FieldValue=This is%CRLF%my regular text
Will be entered in Macro Scheduler all on one line, but, when sent to a form outside Macro Scheduler will be on two lines.
Hope this helps,

Here is my example.
I want the script to be able to copy this from a excel spreadsheet field, B3
In a world one man, a lone rebel, a
cop has to take on...
I have not written the code to copy from excel yet, but I am concerned as currently I have this line of code like this and it does not work.
Let>FieldValue={"In a world one man, a lone rebel, a
cop has to take on..."}

Create a test macro, paste this into it and see if it meets your needs. Notice the %CRLF% inserted into the line just ahead of
Let>FieldValue=In a world one man, a lone rebel, a %CRLF%cop has to take on...
Let>MSG_WIDTH=400
mdl>%FieldValue%
When you pull the text from excel, it will already have the carriage return and line feed built into it. You will not have to add another one.
