Update: Managed to solve the problem. Posting this at 4 in the morning was part of the problem. Also, was not setting the focus properly and using incomplete key entries. Great results!
New to MS. I have made some progress, but apparently need technical ehlp to complete
I have a simple one-column Excel spreadsheet of stock symbols that I want to load into an array and then paste them one at a time into a charting package. I can load the array, and a recorded macro lets me paste to the charting software, but when I merge the two, something is wrong with the way I am trying to paste and it doesn't work.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Here is the macro....
//The first part works great....
Let>WW_TIMEOUT=5
CapsOff
XLOpen>C:\users\new user\documents\my trading\TradeCoWatchlist.xlsx,1,xlBook
XLGetSheetDims>xlBook,Sheet1,rows,cols
WaitWindowOpen>Microsoft Excel*
ArrayDim>Sym,72
Let>c=1
Repeat>c
Let>r=c+1
XLGetCell>xlBook,Sheet1,r,1,Symbol
Let>Sym_%c%=%Symbol%
Let>c=c+1
Until>c,rows
//...to here. The array is loaded.
//The rest doesn't paste the symbols.
Let>y=-1535
Let>x=93
//coordinates of where I need to left click to open the symbol dialog box
MouseMove>x,y
Wait>.10
//this is from the recorded macro. seems to appear on the first click, but not thereafter.

Let>k=1
Repeat>k
//here I try to put the symbol on the clipboard and paste.
//tried to simply Send the symbol, but that didn't work either
Let>Symbol=Sym_%k%

//This changes the coordinates based on the number of symbols entered.

Let>y=-1534
Let>x=x+205
ELSE
Let>y=y+265
ENDIF
Let>k=k+1

Here is the recorded macro that I used. It successfully pastes whatever is on the clipboard to the proper chart.
//Set IGNORESPACES to 1 to force script interpreter to ignore spaces.
