Software Robot

Another free software product I have found useful is JTAutoEntry, available from  www.jtdata.com   JT is Jim Taylor, and this program can batch process routine tasks that can be accomplished through keystrokes alone.  This can be extremely useful, but may require practice to get your script right, because Windows may not feel like processing at the speed of your script (pad with "sleep" commands), plus you may find your knowledge of the keystrokes you need to script will be put to the test.  In between the rote commands, you put a text file derived from a database search, to supply records to bring up or values to update.

Clear as mud?  If any of the above seemed useful, please check it out and read the documentation.  If you experiment, use a small file of hopefully made up data before you try anything for real.  That said, this can be extremely useful for remotely operating one database app with another.  That's right, free software that I have recommended from someplace other than Sourceforge.
