Question Issue with enabling to run similar files

Hi,

I have created a macro that copies some information from a website, and then put that information into an excel sheet. Then it copies information from a different excel sheet, and plugs it back into the same web page.

This web page has dynamic titles that change every time I plug something into it. So I enabled the running similar files by checking the box.

The problem is that now it will seemingly randomly pick one of the excel sheets to copy from. Since it is allowing similar files it interchangeably chooses between the two excel sheets while running.

I need it to allow the title of the web site to change and still recognize it, but also be strict about which excel sheet to go to at different time. I have made sure I'm assigning the proper title of the different excel sheets within the commands that relate to them, but this doesn't fix the problem.

Any suggestions?

Thanks

Hi,

I'm still having issues with this. I thought I had fixed it because I only have one of each type of desktop application opened at one time. And that worked for the excel documents. But the website, shoppingbounce.com has dynamic titles. I'm inputting keywords automatically and pressing enter, and it isn't working. Each time it has an error that says it can't find the window used during the demo. I even added a step in the beginning so that it types in the keyword that was used during the initial recording and presses enter, so that when it comes back at the end of the macro to insert the keyword it will be the correct title. But it still says it can't find it. I only have one mozilla browser open, with only one tab.

Some please help.

Hello,

Looking at your requirement, we would like to suggest trying our advanced automation software, Automation Anywhere 4.5, which provides wild card support in window titles.

You can also specify a wild card character (*) at the end or beginning of the window title if your window title keeps on changing all the time. For e.g. you can write 'Microsoft Excel*' or '*Excel' etc. instead of providing the complete title if your title always keeps on changing. However, if you know the exact title of the window then we recommend providing the complete title to ensure that the actions are always performed in the correct window.

You can download free version of Automation Anywhere 4.5 from our website:
