James, Absolutely correct, but I was assuming (yeah, I know, I know...) that she would just use the record and playback macro functionality of Client Access, and wouldn't do any VBScript programming. I also had my CA macros log in and log out, and you can even have them scheduled. That's how I ran my system backups, IPL, and restarting everything for a while. Cool tool, and it's totally free. But overall, ROBOT is the best solution, if you have the $$$ for it.

I've done it, but there are NO variables available (as there are with ROBOT). All you get are recorded keystrokes, and no real way to tell if there's a problem or not. But, that being said, you CAN do it that way. > > >Dale (Cork) Gindlesperger, CPIM >Click here for my professional profile > >"If I'd asked my customers what they wanted, they'd have said a faster horse." - Henry Ford > > > > >>________________________________ >>From: Sue Clement <[email protected]> >>To: mapics-l-Zwy7GipZuJhWk0Htik3J/[email protected] >>Sent: Wednesday, June 15, 2011 6:57 PM >>Subject: [MAPICS-L] Offline PO creation >> >>Thank you for the suggestions.
