We recently upgraded an aging pc and with it we went from IE 6 to IE 8, we had existing macro that worked in our order packing operation. With new IE the cursor stops at the favorites icon and wil not tab to where we need it.

oroginal macro:

 

Get Control%C1%

Text Type<ENTER>

Wait for Web Page: "pack_display"

Mouse Move Screen 650,350

Delay 10 Seconds

Mouse Left Button Click

Text Type<CONTROL>p

Wait for Window Title:"HP Laserjet 4100 PCL 6 Properties"

Delay 3 seconds

Text Type:<ARROW DOWN>

Text Type:<ENTER>

Text Type:<ENTER>

Wait Window Lose Focus: "Print"

Delay 3 seconds

Mouse Move Relative to Control%C1%:20,20

Delay 3 seconds

Mouse Left Button Click

Text Type:<TAB>

 

it seems to work until the Mouse Move Relative to Control%C1%:20,20 part of the command

I haven't used IE 8 so I could be completely off, and I generally have little luck with Controls; but if it used to work, and the new IE accepts them, you may simply need to re-define %C1% in the Get Control %C1% command.

 

Anybody else have any suggestions?

You're right. A specific Window Control generally changes from one version of a program to another. Some people use this to determine which version of a program is running (e.g. Word 2003 vs Word 2007).

 

You will need to recapture the control in the Get Control command.
