Using Send & SendText delima

[gchichester]

What would cause the first two Send commands to work but the last fail?
I have tried using Send & SendText with and without the {" "}
I tried used the Code Builder as well with the same results
I have verified Booking Number is not a variable
I'm currently running v14.03.7

Code: Select all

Send>{"OOLU DOC"}
Press Tab * 2
EndIf
Wait>.75
Send>{"Jwilk"}
Wait>.75
Press Tab
Wait>.75
SendText>Booking Number

And once again using

Code: Select all

 and 

does not work????

Why are you sending curly braces at all? Is this a windows application?

Code: Select all

Send>{"OOLU DOC"}
Press Tab * 2
EndIf
Wait>.75
Send>{"Jwilk"}
Wait>.75
Press Tab
Wait>.75
SendText>Booking Number

There's nothing in your code that does anything about focus. Maybe you've only provided a portion of the code, but there's nothing here that ensures the correct window is focused.

These are the things that would make Send "fail":

- The window you want to send to is not focused (in the foreground).
- The field you want to type into is not the focused (active) field.
- The window or field is not yet ready for input.
- You are trying to send text into a process running as admin but Macro Scheduler/your compiled macro is not running as admin (see this article).

The focused window is a Outlook New "Untitled Message", Sorry I failed to add that part of my code to the post.
I could tell the window had focus because the first Send>OOLU DOC worked correctly without
enclosing it with {" "} as well as the Send>JWilk
It failed on the third Send>Booking Number sending only Booking. So I thought that the spaces may be causing the issue
Which didn't make sense because the OOLU DOC send worked and it has a space.
That's when I added the {" "} to all 3, still had issue. I remembered about the IGNORESPACES variable added it with mixed results. So I've worked around the issue by creating variables for each Send>

Now something is preventing the Press Tab * x from working throughout the code
Please see commented code

I have found with some applications that the tabs two quick don't help so try
Press Tab
Wait>0.2
Press Tab
Wait>0.2
Press Tab
Wait>0.2

[gchichester]

Thanks for the thought!
If I understand the wait> command I think 0.75 is 3/4 of a second and is longer than 0.2 of a second.
And some are waiting for a full second, and I have even tried 2 and 3 seconds

I have just edited a script that will email within Outlook with attachment is there a reason your doing it this way, could you not just have outlook open and it send the email on your behalf?

[CyberCitizen]

Here is the code I am using, will send to the email address with attachment etc. Outlook needs to be running, but that is it.
Now I am referencing the attachment path etc, however you could have it as an input method.

Code: Select all

Let>[email protected]
Let>vJobNum=123321
Let>vSeqNum=123456789

SRT>sEmail
VBStart
Function CreateEmail(strRecipient, strSubject, strBody, strAttachment)
   'Create OL App object
   Set objOLApp = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
   If objOLApp is nothing then
      MsgBox "Could not create OL App.  Shutting Down"
      Exit Function
   End If

   'Create a new mail item
   Set objMsg = objOLApp.CreateItem(0)
   If objMsg is nothing then
      MsgBox "Could not create Mail Item.  Shutting Down"
      Exit Function
   End If
   'Set basic message parameters
   objMsg.To = strRecipient
   objMsg.Subject = strSubject
   objMsg.Body = strBody
   objMsg.Attachments.Add(strAttachment)
   'Send the message
   objMsg.Send

   'Free up the space
   Set objOLApp = Nothing
   Set objMsg = Nothing

   CreateEmail = "Success"
End Function
VBEnd

Let>strTo=%vEmailNum%
Let>strSubj=Call: %vJobNum% - Sequence: %vSeqNum% - Dial Before You Dig Request
Let>strBody=Call: %vJobNum%%CRLF%Sequence: %vSeqNum%%CRLF%%CRLF%Good morning,%CRLF%%CRLF%Please find attached the requested Dial Before You Dig info.
Let>strAttach=N:\Information Management\ICT INF & OPS\_DBYD\%vJobNum%.pdf

StringReplace>strBody,CRLF," & vbCRLF & ",strBody

VBEval>CreateEmail("%strTo%","%strSubj%","%strBody%","%strAttach%"),Answer
END>sEmail

Thank You
Just what I needed, I had forgotten about using VB within MS much more efficient.
