Problem with scripts that require file browsers

mikebystedt

Does anyone know of a workaround that would allow a script or axlShell() commands to select and populate a
file browser if it pops up?  It seems that the file browser form isn't recgonized.  So therefore no data can be entered.

Specifically, after doing a File->Import and running, a summary report pops up with the details.  When I select "Save",
a browser window pops up, but during Replay, the window is never selected, the filename never entered, and I can't
save the file.

I'm sure that someone else has encountered this at some point.  Any suggestions?

Is there some sort of default FORM name that I could refer to that isn't being output to the script file during a Record session?

Thanks, -Mike

    OK, "nograph(ic)" is not interactive at all. IF I run script in interactive mode, having no "fillin" value for the "save" / "save as" waits for a value for the filename to save, with a "fillin" the file gets saved as that name and the script completes - "replay <script_file>" at the command window. Maybe this was changed at some point, which exact version are you running?
