Hi, I like the look of RoboTask, and I've been experimenting with Lite (v3.0). I have a particular problem with MYOB, which has a funny menu bar. Alt-F won't work, but F10 followed by 'f' will.RoboTask Lite works fine, but I need to automate this from MS Access, so I tried the full version. Unfortunately the latest version 5.1 does not work the same way.Can you shed any light on this, or suggest how I can cause a task in Lite to run from Access?Many thanks,Nick

I've tried %(F) and {F10}F combinations in RoboTask 5.1 with several applications. It's working properly.
Unfortunately I can't reproduce your problem.

RoboTask Lite has no mechanism to run single task from outside.

Thanks for your reply.I have done a lot more experimenting today, and discovered that it will work if both MYOB and RoboTask are set to Run as Administrator. Otherwise it looks as though RoboTask has trouble activating the app, even though it can see the window title etc.I'm now trying this with 5.1, and creating batch files. I'll do a lot more testing to make sure I've nailed it!Many thanks,Nick
