Macronovice Posted February 7, 2005 Report Share Posted February 7, 2005 Just downloaded ME and waiting for the book to arrive, apparently it can take up to one month ! so just got a couple of questions to help get things started... I want to copy data from Lotus Approach fields and paste into Webpage cells, however, if the webpage cells are not in the exact same position as the macro was recorded, the ME macro is unable to perform the task. I used the Quick Wizard for recording.... Is this the best way to go about this job or should I be looking at another way of doing it ? Any help appreciated.

joe Posted February 7, 2005 Report Share Posted February 7, 2005 Welcome to the group! Along with the tutorial, the Quick Wizards are a great place to get started learning Macro Express. Any macro that a Quick Wizard generates can be directly modified in the Script Editor window. It seems from your post that the simplest solution would be to generate a macro that takes the following steps for each field: Activate the Lotus window Tab to a field Copy it to the clipboard Activate the web page window Tab to the target field Paste from the clipboard Keep in mind that other solutions will present themselves as you gain more experience with Macro Express. As to the book taking a month ... that seems awfully strange to me. When did you order it? Where did you order it from? And where is it being delivered? US? Canada? Europe?

joe Posted February 9, 2005 Report Share Posted February 9, 2005 Interesting! I just checked at www.amazon.co.uk from where, I assume, you ordered the book. It says something totally different than www.amazon.com. Although we have no control over Amazon, Barnes and Noble, Indigo, or any other distributor, we can set you up with a free PDF file of the book while you are waiting for the physical one to arrive. Just email me at joe@pgmacros.com and I'll give you the details on how to get it. Thanks for joining the group and for your purchase!

Macronovice Posted February 10, 2005 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2005 Thanks joe.... I have another question........ Windows/Programs then Window Activate... after this point is it possible to identify or go to a specific field or copy a specific field without using the Tab Command ?

Macronovice Posted February 10, 2005 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2005 Or even Tab directly to a specific field without scrolling through the Tab order. am I becoming a pain already ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
