EXTRA & INTERNET EXPLORER WORKING TOGETHER?

[pseudoman]

Well this is my second post with no response, but I will try again anyway... what it is that I am trying to do is have EXTRA open a web page and paste strings in given fields on the page, and use the <TAB>, <ENTER> Keys to navigate the page. has anyone been able to do this before?

I can only get as far as switching the ActiveApp, over to Internet Explorer, and opening the page as a file. after this my sendkeys start returning to EXTRA, instead of IE.

I assume you're trying to step through the program if the sendkeys are returning to Extra. SendKeys is useful at times, but unreliable at best unless you can know for sure when IE opens what has focus and where the tabs are going to go. Additionally, there's no way to step this as at each step focus is brought back to the EB interface.

Have you considered using objects to control IE? I've not tried it with IE, but it works great with most things.
