    Default to desktop

    This should be easy. I just couldn't find a reference for the syntax anywhere... How do you "default" something to the user's desktop in Attachmate? I've created a script that scrapes several screens, then pastes the data to a .txt file on the desktop........but I can't share my script with...

    Recognizing top or end of scrollable data

    There are two rooms. In the first, there are three switches. In the second - there are three light bulbs. The door between them is closed. You are only allowed to go into the second room once. If you start in the first room, how do you find out which switch operates which bulb? I guess if...

    Keystroke question

    This question is one of those "probably not, but I thought I'd ask anyway" questions: I was wondering if it was possible to use the "escape" or "control" keys in sendkeys statements? For example "<Home><BackTab><Escapekey?><Controlkey?><Enter>" A second question --- is it possible to use...

    Writing to an Open Document

    By the way.........before I ask this question, I could have sworn there was a thread somewhere that already covered this, but I can not for the life of me find it. At any rate, here goes: How do you write to a .txt or .doc file that is already open on the desktop? When I say "open", what I...

    Running an application

    This should be a relatively simple question (I think). Here goes: I currently have an application that scrapes a bunch of Screen.Area objects, and pastes them into a .txt file on my desktop. At the end of the script, I would like for it to open the .txt file in a new window (maximized). How do...

    I am in the process of creating a script that opens a dialog box for password entry. I need my dialog to be able to handle errors, and open itself back up again when they happen.

    Dialog box control question

    I have one more question about textbox controls in dialog boxes. Is it possible to place a default line of text in a textbox control? One example of this would be a password box that retains the last user's name (and possibly password). When the user executes the macro a second time, the...
