hi vb5prgrmr, Sorry but for a while i couldn't access my yahoo mail and didn't know that someone replied. I almost succeeded: I found a freeware "auto it" (autoit.com) that has very simple commands to macro anything. Now I plan to combine vb and the macros I wrote with 'auto it'...

hi, once vb opens a webpage (with the code below) is there a vb code that allows to type things in the text boxes? thanks Hala Dim strURL strURL = Shell("C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\" _ & "Iexplore.exe https://www.optionsxpress.com/login.asp?SessionID=0", 1)

hi, I wrote (with lots of help) a small vb 6.0 program that finds msnmsgr.exe and opens it. I now need help with the syntax of the vb command to sign out, sign in as a different user, and send a message to a specific recipient. Can the net send command be used to do that? and what is the...

hi, After managing to write a small code that opens msn messenger, I am looking for the syntax to have to send messages to specific recipients. I found the code for typing an entry in a text file; [Open "C:\Documents and Settings\chaoui.1\Desktop\sample.txt" For Output As #1 Print #1...

I finally figured out the code I've been posting questions about!! What I did is look for the path of the .exe file based on its location in the registry. It's a portable code that can find the msn 6.0 application on its own and open it! Option Explicit Private sAppPath1 As String, sAppPath2...

hi, I am trying to make my vb program find the path of the msn messenger application (I want this to be done automatically on which ever computer it is downloaded). The code I use is returning the wrong path: that of the vb executable itself. Here's my code: Dim fso Dim newpath As String Set...

hi, I didn't think it made a difference in my current problem to specify if it's a file or an application. In any case, here's what my program can do so far: it opens an application (msn messenger) using 'call shell', if I manually specify the path. What it doesn't do is find that path on its...

hi, thanks for the tips! I already know how to open a file (messenger.exe) using shell, and after typing in the file location. What I am trying to do here is not having to type in the location: I want the program to find it. So far I used this code to find the path, but it returns the wrong...

hi, I tried the following code, to have the program find the path of the application I am trying to open with my macro, but an error prompt keeps saying 'object required'. any suggestions? the code: Dim fso, newpath Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject") newpath =...

thanks for the help, it works! now I need help with 2 other things: 1. I need my program to find the location of an application (since it varies from one computer to the other). 2. I need to be able to type things once I open an application. I tried the 'selection.typetext' command but it...

Thank you rvbasic, I tried what you suggested, and used a different path too(because it was saying the argument is 'invalid'). I now get another error prompt: run-time error '53'. I'd appreciate any suggestions. Here's my most recent code: Option Explicit Private sAppPath As String Private...
