Tabbing through a web page

[bboydiii]

I have a list of contacts that I use daily from my web based desktop. I start my macro in the same position tab 3 times press enter to open an email tab 2 times to the subject line tab again to the body of the message type more text press Ctrl S to send the message, switch back to the list tab 4 more times back to the starting position on the next line down. I repeat this up to 75 times.

In the past few weeks MS did some updates and there was a JAVA update as well and now every 2nd or 3rd it repeats, it forgets a tab and runs all over the place. Ive tried pauses in lots of locations. Ive tried delays between each command, delays between each tab up to one minute each and still the same results. I've also tried delaying between each run of the macro up to one minute.

All of the data fields are consistant. I can manually tab through the sequence without fail. It only messes up with WSP. Great program, and has really made my life wonderful for contacting clients, but this is killing me.

Does anyone else have any issues like this? Are there any updates coming out or patches that might cure the problem?

Hello,

If you have inserted series of [TAB] key in single command then we would like to suggest you to break down that single keystroke into several lines and try to insert Delay command in between the lines for the error-less execution of the macro. Breaking the keystrokes into several lines would give sufficient time to execute each action smoothly.

Is it possible for you to upload your macro so that we can look into it and suggest a workable solution?

You can locate your macro by right clicking your macro and selecting 'Locate on disk' from context menu. Otherwise, you can also send text format of macro. For that, open your macro in a Macro Editor, go to Tools->Save as text file and send this text file.

Here is the text of my macro.
I'm thinking that it might be computer related. Microsoft indexing got turned on at some point and seems to have been taxing the hard drive. its off now.

I have tried your suggestion with the delays and that did not work either. I actually slowed the thing down with 1 minute intervals and it was still having issues. I just ran this macro now that indexing is off and it ran through about 8 replays without issue, then it messed up again. I was running this on a list of 75 without fail about 2 weeks ago.

Thanks for your help!
