Probably not focusing the correct field. I would avoid using mouse clicks by the way- not very reliable. Use keystrokes instead. Have you read the beginners guide in the help file? Worth while following this. I think if you follow the example in the guide you'll find building your script much easier afterwards.

Well to focus a field you first need to ensure the window is focused. Then you can use the tab key to get from one field to the next. So you might need to do something like:

SetFocus>window_title
Press TAB *

Please see the beginner's guide for further explanation.

Which part of this are you having problems with. I can't give you the commands you need verbatim because I can't see your screen and my crystal ball is at the repair shop

Write down the keystrokes you have to send and the window names you have to wait for. Do the whole thing yourself, manually, using keystrokes. Write down the steps. Now you have the beginnings of a script. If you still have problems send us the list of keystrokes and window names and we'll try to compose a skeleton script for you.

When posting a message you'll see some buttons. One is 'Img'. And when you hover over it you'll see instructions.

Have you gone through the process manually yet? Have you made a list of keystrokes and window names?

You may have to wait for "Export to JPEG file ..." window opens up before sending file name.

May need to tab between fields and press ENTER when the SAVE button is active. Again, as Support has noted, forget about the MouseMove commands. Use TAB and ALT-LTR commands to move around.

I don't see underlined letters on your menus, so perhaps ALT-LTR options do not exist. But you can still use Up/Down/Left/Right, etc along with TAB, Sh-Tab to make different objects active and to execute them.

When a new Windor opens up, do

WaitWindowOpen>WindowName*
WaitReady>1

before the commands to Send/Press/Tab, etc.

For your screenshots did you use the mouse to invoke those menus or did you use keys. I suspect mouse because none of the entries have the underline char. It would be more help if you could issue keystrokes so that we can work out what they are. Press the ALT key and use the keyboard to navigate through the menu structure. Then we can see what the keyboard shortcuts are and help you write your script. At the moment we're stabbing in the dark. Please follow all the previous suggestions given by support.

here is the script with key stokes. i hold alt and go through alt f (fille) then alt e (export) and then arrow down to save as jpeg and write the name of the file (dialog box) and then tab over to save and hit enter. for some reason the macro will not run thorught the key strokes after the first tab.

before i start that i open the chart with mouse clicks and when the sub window opens i choose (this week) chart and then i adjust the subwindow size to full by alt w and the enter.

I don't see any ALT-F here. Your message seems to be incomplete. You say 'for some reason when I .....' and it tails off. Can you clarify the question?

What application are you trying to automate here? Is it something on every computer, or can it be downloaded from somewhere? If it is something I can get hold of I could take a look and offer some suggestions as to what you want to do. At the moment we seem to be having problems making sense of each other.
