No, sorry, the macros function is only to turn the dialup off and on again after the "Captcha challenge" window appears 19 times. The actual data entered into the window is done by the posting programme. The 19 limit is so that we dont go over an hour with our dial up.

I don't know if that will work, the "captcha Challenge" window appears for 1 second every 2 mins, its filled in automatically, the macro should recognize when 19 of these have appeared (not at the same time) then disconnects the dialup and reconnects it. Maybe this might make things clearer? Thanks

Thanks for the speedy reply! I've been working on automate6 so its probaby just a different way here. I'll try the variable script and see what happens. All I'm trying to do really is to turn the dialup off and on again when the captcha challenge window is seen 19 times, and then repeat this ad infinitum. Chat later and thanks R

Hello everyone, I'm having a few problems with a macro I have 'written' and was wondering if anyone had some ideas! here is a screen grab. macro1.bmp Essentially what I'm trying to do is this. We have automated software to post ads for us, and we use dialup to post. the posting software is automated via the scheduled tasks and every 2 mins a "captcha challenge" window appears. the macro firstly is supposed to recognize when 19 of these windows appear, when 19 have appeared, it moves on to see if another "captcha challenge" window appears after a 20 second break, it looks for this last window every second for 45 seconds (it looks for this window as sometimes the automated captcha is invalid and it tries again), if no window appears it then moves to the next step. Next, it tries to focus the window "easyAd Poster etc" 3 times. (is there a way to make the task fail if this doesnt happen?) Then, it brings the window on top, and the mouse moves to the position of the pause button in the easyad software (again I would like to retry this step 10 times and make the task fail if it doesnt happen) Then, the mouse left clicks to activate the pause (again, I would like this to try 10 times and fail the task if it doesnt happen) The macro then disconnects the dial up, reconnects and with a left click of the mouse it continues "easyad". The problems I am having are these. Firstly how to trigger the macro so it works automatically, ie triggered by the "captcha challenge" window, without EVERY "captcha challenge"window triggering the macro. Secondly, how to make taks fail if something doesnt happen, and thirdly how to end the macro. I think I'm nearly halfway there but would appreciate some help. Thanks in advance
