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

    Thank you Gents for the feedback.

    I've used the file browsers in my SKILL code.

    My main problem though, is that I've been trying to save the report that is generated after doing a "File->Import".
    The report pops right up and is shown in an .htm based window, but when I hit "Save" I can't do anything with it.

    I simply want to save the data somehow.  

    I'm not seeing an option to actually capture it

    Is there a standard location where the "temp" files are kept with a standard naming convention?
    I'm assuming that there is a generated report that is being referenced and loaded into the htm file viewer.
    If I can locate that, I could simply copy the file.  That would work as well.

    Thanks,

     -MIke
