Automating part of my Yahoo! store

[mightycpa]

Hi,

I'm trying to automate a task in my Yahoo! store. I used WebRecorder to get the basic navigation down, and now I'm working on the details by hand. I'm using MS 10.

To set the stage, what I want to do is to process a list of orders one at a time, using order numbers 100 - 110.

All I need to do is to put 100 in an input box, press the button, wait for a new page, then click a radio button, then press another button. Then I click a link to return to the first page, and loop through this process again and again, incrementing the order numbers as I go.

Yahoo! writes their pages such that the control names change each time you load the page. So, for the first input control, when I record it in WR, it records it with certain names... but when I run it, these names change, and in fact, when I re-record it, the names are different yet again.

So, I decided to use the Tag Extractor to find the instance of the two controls that I need on the first page, the input box and the submit button.

WR's Tag Extraction Tool gave me this:

Code: Select all

//this is from Tag Extractor, locates the text box
//Modify buffer size if required ...
Let>INPUT2_SIZE=4098
IE_ExtractTag>%IE[0]%,,INPUT,2,0,INPUT2,r
MidStr>r_6,1,r,INPUT2

//this is from Tag Extractor, locates the submit button
//Modify buffer size if required ...
Let>INPUT2_SIZE=4098
IE_ExtractTag>%IE[0]%,,INPUT,1,0,INPUT1,r
MidStr>r_6,1,r,INPUT1

Based on this, I created this code to click inside (give focus to) the correct input box, thinking I could just send the keystrokes to it:

Code: Select all

MessageModal>%ktr%
IE_ClickTag>%IE[0]%,,,INPUT,INDEX,2,r
Send>%ktr%

It doesn't work! I do get the value of variable ktr in the dialog box, but then I get a Macro Scheduler error:

Access violation at address 06B549D7 in module 'IEAuto.dll'. Read of address 00000002.

IEAuto.dll is in my system path, and a couple more places too.

I don't know what to do from here. Help, please!

seems your code is fine but you may have some registry errors also updating macro scheduler is strongly suggested try running an application like regcure to check for system errors in your registry hope this helps

I guess these errors are caused by an antivirus, third-party firewall or other software that may intervene TCP/IP stack.

Any Antivirus-Firewall software installed?
Any plugins installed?

Check the configuration of that and which other errors you are getting??
