sendkeys problem

[mp3er3000]

I am working on Excel vba to control Extra attachmate. i am trying to write codes for the program to click on tools menu, click on " capture incomming data " , enter the name into the diaglog box and click save. I used they sendkeys command but it doesn't work. anyone got any suggestions? thanks

Why not use VBA to do all of this instead of having VBA send instructions to EB to do it?

Your object will have should have the prop/method of capture data just like Extra does. If so it will also have a variable for location to save the data to.

I can't give specific instructions because I don't have that option in my version of Extra.

For the code required, try recording a macro with these steps and then use that as a base for your VBA code.

I tried to use the object like you suggested but it didn't have the method or prop. I will try the recording suggestion though. thanks

What kind of data are you trying to capture? Do you want to save the data or just use it within your program?
