Hi

I would like to create a job to open browser, browse some records in a website ( database driven website) and tag some of the records ( input data in 1 field basically and click on a button to confirm) .  every page has a unique reference displayed on it, so ideally i need to store the reference on my local file so i know the job is not amending existing records. is this is possible ? ideally in a non-interactive mode so i can use my pc for other stuff too.

thanks

Samantha

Re: fill in online form and keep record

Hello walacin,

That can easily be done, using the "Download from Web" action, depending on the site's structure. If you would like to give me a few more details (url, field you want to input data to, and ref number you want to get) I could give you a baseline to work on.

:)

Re: fill in online form and keep record

 Hello Samantha,

the website I want to automate is a site with a dedicated login before.

The data from which a I would like to the online form is a windows forms application.

So my first suggestion was to automate a simple copy paste process.

I don't understand the suggestion with the download from web task.

Do you have a sample where I can try myself?

Re: fill in online form and keep record

Hello Samatha, my first idea was to automate a windows form to internet form with multible copy and paste. The internet form I want to automate is after a login. Do you have an example for a simple download from web action? A.Kleine
