Hi,
Thanks for this - Quickeys is certainly comprehensive.
 
Sadly, the charts are not in a single directory. Preliminary tests seem to work as one would hope. What I propose to do is set up charts in a number of layouts, load each layout and print the charts in the layout, close the layout load the next and so on.
 
Thanks for the advice.
 
Good Trading
 
DJ

David,

Not sure how you have the charts arranged that you need printed, but
if they all happen to be from a single directory I would think you
could use a product like Quickeys.

http://www.cesoft.com/products/qkw.html

I have similar needs so let m know if it works for you. I think this
has some 30 day trial as well and has a wizard to guide you through
the process.

It will of course have the same limitations all macro programs do of
breaking if you interupt it or another app tries to take foreground
focus, etc.

If all the charts are in one directory and need printing in the same
template, all you would need is to record a mouse click on the "next"
arrow on the chart window and then envoke "print" in another macro
which I think comes built in to Quickeys.

There are other recorders out there, this is just the one I happen to
know.
