Macro not working

Post by buster » Fri Mar 07, 2008 3:00 am

Hello,

I downloaded the Web Recorder and Macro Scheduler because my company is looking at buying it. I'm able to record the macro fine for a web page (ASP.NET 2.0) which is on our development server. The macro I recorded fills out a few form fields then clicks the submit button. The result should be an e-mail and a which is relayed from the local virtual smtp server, which I know works fine because I've been running this application for successfully for quite some time. Then I am able to import the macro into the Macro Scheduler. But when I run the macro, manually or on a schedule, it seems as if everything is working, but I never get an e-mail, which tell me the page is not submitting.

Can someone tell me what I might be overlooking or doing wrong? This is a great tool and would absolutely fill our needs, so I'd really like to get it to work.

Thank you,
Buster

Did you look at your log file to see the code returned when the email command was executed? What was the return code?

Did you put code in to check for and react to a bad return code?

If you do the process manually, do you receive the email?

Can you please provide a copy of the code section that is sending the email message, including lines that define any of the parameters. And a copy of that section of the log file would also be helpful.
Hope this was helpful..................good luck,
Bob
