Making a macro for a PC who wouldn't have MacroScheduler

Post by OldGeek » Thu Oct 30, 2014 4:37 pm

What would be the best methodology to make a macro to work on someone else's PC that don't have the program MacroScheduler installed on it. The PC in question has an app not installed on my PC but I would want to interact with.

I'm assuming most will suggest the basic use of function or shortcut keys that the app in question would understand.

It's nigh on impossible to create a script for an app you don't have. Automation is very much a process of trial and error - or at least - code a bit - test it - code the next bit - test it -- etc.

In short, you need to install Macro Scheduler on that PC. Or install the software to be automated on your PC.
