What I would like to do is update an active form field from a mainframe application. What I have so far is a form that the user will input all data necessary. Then what I would like to happen is the user clicks a button that runs a macro. This macro outputs the current form’s data to a text file, then runs the mainframe application and a script which uses the text file data. Then the script makes a second text file with the data that needs to be populated to the active form. I am up to this point currently. What I can't figure out is how to update the active form with the 1 piece of data in the text file from the mainframe script to the active field on the form. Thank you so much in advance for your help!! :)
