[SOLVED] Launching xlsm from MS encounters errors.
Hi Folks, As the title says, I'm running into a problem with a .xlsm file that is called from my script. I've tried using ExecuteFile, RunProgram, and the XLOpen functions and each time the file launches but then encounters an error as it runs. If I run the xlsm file directly or from another schedul...

Problems Detecting Outlook SOLVED
Hi Folks, I'm simply trying to SetFocus to an existing instance of Outlook. No luck. I tried ensuring I was running MS as Admin, still no luck. I've tried IfWindowOpen, FindObject with UIClick, and WindowAction. I continue to be unsuccessful. Why am I having such a hard time setting the focus or mak...

Building a py with multiple parameters for API calls.
Hi Folks, I'll start by saying I've never worked with an API before and I'm sure there are more advanced ways of handling my problem but I myself and not that advanced. That being said I'm using MS to build the file framework but I need to account for multiple items to be processed in the same file....

Re: DayOfWeek -1 returning odd date
that's a good question... so can I simply say today-1?
edit:
yes, yes I can...
GetDate>today
DateAdd>today,dd,-1,strDate
MessageModal>%strDate%

Re: DayOfWeek -1 returning odd date
I'm getting closer but can't figure out why the following produces a date formatted as mm/d/yyyy. When I run the same code and comment out 'Let>dd=dd-1 the result is proper at mm/dd/yyyy. Why does subtracting 1 from the date remove the leading zero? How and I fix this? Press Enter Month>mm Day>dd Ye...

DayOfWeek -1 returning odd date
Hi Folks,
I have the following code returning 06/03/2002 & 06/03/0201, respectively. If I run it again I get a completely different set of dates.
DayOfWeek>dow
GetDate>the_date
Sub>the_date,{%dow%-1}
SetFocus>Report Options
Send> %the_date%
Press Tab
Send> %the_date%
What am I doing wrong?

Re: Looking to build a solution...
Thanks for the idea Marcus. But I'm not sure that's the right way to go... So I'm trying to work with TeamViewer to remote into a PC and perform a few clicks or tabs to accomplish running and saving a report. To that end I'm working with a free version of TeamViewer and at the end of a session (not ...

Looking to build a solution...
Hi Folks, I'm looking to build a solution whereby I check a folder via a unc path and take the newest file and import it into excel. The file in questions will be a .csv file BUT the delimiter is a semicolon (I have no control over that). Not sure if that complicates things. I've been playing around...

Re: What's wrong with this code?
I didn't think of that thanks! I guess all the nesting did was confuse the issue. Yeah, the Repeat does have an Until.Try adding %title% to your modal message so you know what title is actually being captured.
And thanks for the vote of competence

Either way I want the text of that windows captured and written to a file. What I'm getting is both scenarios being ass...

I've got a GetActiveWindow with an If>title= working and returning the expected message but can I nest an If statment inside another If statement?

Re: Using Images to determine next step?
So I've got WriteLn happily logging my current file name and date/time of process.
Now how do I seek out and act upon one of two possible message windows that can open... WaitWindowOpen or GetFocusedObject with an if/then doesn't seem to be doing the trick... I wonder what will.
