Not understanding how WebRecorder ties in to Macro Scheduler

Post by rjw524 » Wed May 16, 2012 5:32 pm

Hi,

I'm sorry for asking what is obviously a basic question but I am still confused about WebRecorder ties in with Macro Scheduler.

I'm trying to write a pretty basic macro that 100% utilizes Internet Explorer. I recorded the majority of the steps in WebRecorder but there are additional steps that I need to automate using Macro Scheduler.

How do I write a script that goes back and forth from WebRecorder to Macro Scheduler?

For instance, in WebRecorder it's pretty simple to go to a particular website, but I'm having trouble writing a script that opens same the webpage in Macro Scheduler.

Help, please.

RJ

I only have a smidgen of experience with webrecorder so I'm not going to be much help when it comes to functionality questions. That said... you need to think of webrecorder as being a Macro Scheduler module rather than a separate application. The webrecorder functions work within Macro Scheduler. So a mix of webrecorder functions and Normal Macro Scheduler functions will work in the same script as long as they are meshed together properly syntactically.

In other words, WebRecorder scripts are just Macro Scheduler with an additional set of functions.
