Thanks for that tip. However, I've tried that as well, there can sometimes be dozens upon dozens of tab stops on any of these sites, very time consuming to have to carefully count how many tab stops I have to go through to get to my next destination click, and although I have experimented with this as a possible solution in the past, the software dementia kicks in once again and often 'forgets' how many tabs have been inserted. I've checked them in the edit against the site, they can be right, but something gets lost in the running of the macro. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. I have tried clicking halfway down the web page to get nearer my target, thus having less tab stops, but that ultimately suffers the same fate in the running, also the tabs stops are so unpredictable.
When I say that sometimes it works, and sometimes it doesn't, I mean that I can sit and run the same macro over and over, and sometimes it works, and sometimes it doesn't. That's not good enough, is it?
I think there should be an answer to the original problem of why the drift is happening in the first place, rather than me having to spend even MORE time trying to find a workaround that is so much more complicated and tedious than using the software as it was intended to be used and just simply being able to click where I want it to click, and have it stay on target.
I've also found that when I'm using the 'save as' function through the edit function, I change text information and then run the macro to check it, the 'drift' I was talking about often happens, even though I have only edited text information that doesn't lengthen or shorten the original macro, I may only edit one character to change it to another. It beggers belief!
Techs?
