Filling Out Forms Using Variables

[mss7]

I want to know if this is possible or not.

 

I want to run a macro from command line, pass some variable values into it, then I want the macro to open up a form and fill out the form (which has edit fields, checkboxes, drop-downs, etc.) using the values passed in the variables.

 

Example: I pass variable T1=Its hot outside.

If there is a form with one edit field, I want to use the value in T1 to paste it into the edit field.

 

Does anyone know if this is possible? If yes how ?

 

Thanks in advance.

I wanted to add something.

 

I already know how to pass value into variable and use it to paste it into text box display. But so far I have'nt found anything on how to use the value to paste it into an edit field on a form.

If the value you want to type is in T1 then move to the edit file (using mouse movements or text type commands as needed) and do a TextType: %T1%.

This is possible.

 

To run a macro from the command line you do something like the following:

"c:\Program Files\Macro Express3\meproc.exe" /AMacroName

To pass variables into the macro do this:

"c:\Program Files\Macro Express3\meproc.exe" /AMacroName /VT1:Its hot outside

Then add the Variable Restore command in your macro before accessing any of the variables.
