Why not use VBA to do all of this instead of having VBA send instructions to EB to do it?

Your object will have should have the prop/method of capture data just like Extra does. If so it will also have a variable for location to save the data to.

I can't give specific instructions because I don't have that option in my version of Extra.

For the code required, try recording a macro with these steps and then use that as a base for your VBA code.

I tried to use the object like you suggested but it didn't have the method or prop. I will try the recording suggestion though. thanks

What kind of data are you trying to capture? Do you want to save the data or just use it within your program?
