Terry, TRIED THE LAST OPTION YOU SUGGESTED... WORKED GREAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THANKS, Frank

I have created a macro that, at this moment is working great! I have decided to not leave well enough alone and the try and make the macro more user friendly (funny seeing how i am the only one using the macro:) at one point in time I have to enter text into a form. the problem is that the FORM changes ever so slightly from form to form or day to day...for example today the form asks for NAME ONE then tab to the next box... NAME TWO then tab to the next box... MISC then tab to the next box... MISC then tab to a box that needs to be unchecked... text type (space bar) then tab to the next box than needs a check... text type Ispace bar)... and so on. this part of my script looks like this... // FILL IN THE REGISTRATION FORM // text type NAME ONE Text Type: %T1%<TAB> Delay 0.25 Seconds // text type NAME TWO Text Type: %T2%<TAB><TAB><TAB> Delay 0.25 Seconds // text type MISC ONE Text Type: %N3% %T4%<TAB><TAB> Delay 0.25 Seconds // text type MISC TWO Text Type: %T5%<TAB> Delay 0.25 Seconds // text type - UNCHECK box Text Type: <TAB> Delay 0.25 Seconds // text type - CHECK box Text Type: <TAB> Delay 0.25 Seconds THE PROBLEM IS THAT TOMORROW THE FORM IS GOING TO ASK FOR THE EXACT SAME INFORMATION BUT IN A DIFFERENT ORDER....IE NAME ONE - UNCHECK BOX - MISC ONE - NAME TWO - CHECK BOX - AND THATS IT. Right now if the form changes...I have to go into ME and move the pices of info around by hand... I would like to put in one MULTIPLE CHOICE MENU, if possible, or multiple MULTIPLE CHOICE menus that will ask... What if the first "box" to be filled? I would then check off NAME ONE then the next multiple choice question would be "What is the second box to be filled? I might check off "UNCHECK" etc. In aperfect world one menu would pop up with 15-20 options on it and I would number the option that I need in the order to be filled on the form. IE 1 name one 2 name two 3 misc 4 uncheck box 5 check box ANY IDEAS? HELP... Thanks in advance... Frank

I am trying to get my REAL IP address and then paste it into an excel file followed by a number of vaqriables information. I have come up with... // Get IP ADDRESS = T99 Web Site: http://www.whatismyip.org/ [internet Explorer - Wait to load] Delay 1.5 Seconds Window Maximize: Current Window Delay 1.5 Seconds Mouse Move Screen 500, 500 Delay 0.5 Seconds Mouse Left Button Click Delay 0.5 Seconds Text Type: <CONTROL>a Clipboard Copy Variable Set String %T99% from Clipboard Delay 0.5 Seconds Window Close: Current Window Delay 0.5 Seconds These command go to a website that ONLY lists your IP, clicks in the middle of the page, Highlights the IP, CLIPBOARD copies the ip, assigns %T99% with the clipboard info. Closes the windows window. The problem that I am now coming up with is, later in the macro I have the program open up EXCEL and text type a bunch of info. Text Type: %T99%<TAB>%T1%<TAB><TAB>%T2%<TAB><TAB>%N3%<TAB>%T4%<TAB><TAB>%T5%<TAB><TAB>%T6%<TAB>%N... As you can see I have the IP (or %T99%) there to be text typed but, it just so happens to have a carriage return or enter as part of %T99%. You can see this if you go to the "whatismyip.org" ...LCLK in the middle of the page...CTRL-A...CTRL-C then open up notepad and CTRL-V and you will see that the cursor is not at the end of the IP but rtather on the line below it. I have tried to do different text types to get my information on one line in excel but things just arnt working.. Hope my solution for IP can help you.... Frank ps. Terry, Thanks for all of the help in the past...

In a macro that I have produced I have put in the command to "get IP". the problem is that it gets the computer ip, a 192.168.1.1 address and not the actual IP from the internet. Anyone have a suggestion on what I may be able to do? Thanks in advance.. Frank

THANKS FOR ALL OF THE HELP!!! My little project has come along nicely... todays questions... 1. I know how to set a random number with a maximum RANDOM number. Can I and how do I set a Random number that is within a specific range??? ie 2000001 through 9999999 2. I know how to open / set up a NOTEPAD file...list 10 different colors in the file...set up a random number 1-10 / directly reltaed to my different colors and randomly enter those BUT...is there a way to enter 10 or 50 or 100 different color of random info DIRECTLY into ME so that I can have one less program running. I am trying to make the computer do as little as possible. If I don't have to run any extra programs (ie notepad) then there are less possibilites that something can go wrong. thanks in advance! F

Definately not a negative mass e-mail. There will be a number of e-mails sent, but, they are going to be sent to me. I own the the domains that I am using (five individual domains - see my first post.) I believe that a specifice so-called-legitimate web site is not so "legitimate" I believe that they are just a mass marketing site that just sells the e-mail addresses. By using my macro and setting up a CATCH-ALL e-mail at my 5 domains, i can enter my info 50-60 times with "random" information and the end result is that I will be getting the e-mails back to myself. I will have test my theory at least twice (one time in one week / month and the second another week / month). The macro will will just make this a bit easier. As I mentioned before I have used Macro Express in a limited capacity and the more I use it and read / learn about it the more I believe that this little program, "macro express", could have exponetial possibilites with EVERYDAY applications. my biggest problem is trying learn ALL of the functions that ME does and how to apply them. I tried to actually do this using an excel file saved as a tab delimited file and did not have much luck with the programming. So, here i am asking for help with the "RANDOM" function. F

I am attempting to creating a macro that fills out a form. The first step of the macro is to put a first name, (ANY RANDOM NAME). Tab to a new line and fill in a number, (ANY RANDOM NUMBER 1 to 99999). tab to a new line and fill in an e-mail address, this could be sticky...I would like the e-mail addres to be what the NAME was @ one of 5 domain addresses. For example, if the random name chosen is BOB then the e-mail address would be "BOB@" and I would like the domain name following the "BOB@" to be chosen from one of the following domains one.com, two.com, three.com, four.com, five.com I want the NAME, NUMBER, and ending of the E-MAIL to all be RANDOM. ??? would it be best to set up a list of names...ie. bob, sally, john, tom, dick, harry, and then have the names stored in a notpad file or is there a way to put the names, 100-200 names, it the macro itself??? ???the number... I need the number to be 5 digits long with "0"'s instead of blank spaces in the left. I believe that this is a "pad left" comand. my exp with macro exp. has been limited and "RANDOM" - "VARIABLES" - etc are very new to me. any help is great!!! ps. I looked for som example or "sample" macros that show any of my requested commands and could not find any. if you can point me to the right direction I would appreciate it...

THANKS TO KEVIN for providing help in an earlier topic. my GOAL: run a macro "N" number of times and half way throught thru macro I need to input a name+3 digit number "FRANK-001", "FRANK-002, etc currently i am pausing the macro, entering the name manually, resuming the macro Kevin provided me this <REM2:Intialize variable><IVAR2:03:01:0><REM2:><REM2:Get the number of times to repeat><IVAR2:01:02:FEnter the number of times to repeatFFCenter:Center><REM2:Repeat N1 times. Keep a counter in N2.><REP3:01:000001:000001:%N1%:1:02:><REM2:Copy the counter to string variable T1><NMVAR:05:02:0:0000001:0:0000000><REM2:Pad T1 to be 3 characters in length><TMVAR2:14:01:00:003:000:><REM2:Replace the leading spaces with leading 0's><TMVAR2:21:01:01:000:000: 0><REM2:Create T2 with 'frank' followed by a number><TVAR2:02:01:frank%T1%><REM2:><REM2:Create T2 with 'frank' followed by a number><TEXTTYPE:%T2%<ENTER>><ENDREP> My problem is that I do not know where to enter the script into my current macro so that it will work. (do i enter all of it at the beginning or part of it at the beginning? all of it in th emiddle and part in the beginning? you get the idea. Please help

As you can see I am a NEW member. I have been using ME for about a year now and have had some luck with trial and error. I'm trying out a new macro and I KNOW it can be simplified. here is goes...using Macro express 3.7 I created a macro using mouse clicks and keystrokes. I start off in excel and copy a line of info and then go to macro express to create a "shortkey" macro. A fairly simple copy and paste. In my current macro Ihave a pause set up when the time comes to put in a "shortkey" name. After I enter a name (ie. frank001)I then hit "resume" and the macro finishes. Problem...I would like the macro to enter my shortkey name for me with a number 1 then go up sequentially to 2 then 3 then 4 etc. so my short key names will look like this frank001, frank002, frank 003. I have set up the text box to ask how many shortkey macros i will be creating, and i have given that number to variable N1 at this point i am lost. I just don;t know enough about variables - strin - integers - etc. my presumption is that there will be a "N1+1" some where. I am also presuming that I can equate N1 = # of shortkey macros to also = the number of times the macro will reun / repeat.?.?.? any help or direction will be appreciated... Frank
