Re: automating Metastock

["Walter Lake" <wlake@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Ton

Thanks for your emails ... you've given me lots of stuff to track down and
to download and learn.

Will get back to you on your various suggestions.

Re: your NumLock-Key problem ... Did you record your VBA macro or write it
in the VBE (Alt + F11) as a module?

I tried recording a series of actions switching it on and off and using the
numeric keypad etc. .. nothing showed up in the code?

When I stepped through the code using F8 the NumLock stayed on all the time
and the code repeated all the actions and entered all the data accurately??

Best regards as always

Walter.

| Automating MSK+internet :
|
| Been using the following for years now :(ScriptIt is Win(dows)Script(ing))
|
| Go to my homepage and download AutoWinNet 4.6.
| That program is your simplest+fastest Internet Download "vehicle".
| (Proper replacement for the Subcribe program that ships with IE).
|
| While there, read on up 'bout the ScriptIt or AutoIt programs, and make
your choise (or use both).
| Any of these 2 programs is your simplest+fastest automated MSK's Convert
"vehicle".
|
| No learning languages (VB or VBScript) is required(also present there, but
the above is child level
| stuff compared to VB).
| Then just get used to automating Windows via the ScripIt or AutoIt
scripting "vehicles" way.
| Free as well as easy!!!
|
| Else you can also opt for Excel's Internet queries, but this is quite a
large "user involvement"
| in setting up(macro's+cells) and maintnance(read:updating, since webpages
do change in
| appearances: layout+adddresses and other misc.errors).
|
| Walter: Why is, at the end of one of my VBA macro's, the KB's NumLock-Key
automaticaly
|              been switched OFF?
|              (eg each time an excel macro is run, and it needs a "manual
corrective" ON press later,
|              after a macro is finished)
