Attachmate to Excel for a MailMerge via word
Attachmate to Excel for a MailMerge via word
(OP)
Hi guys n gals
I am currently trying to pull data off attachmate into a excel file . Without opening the excel file for a mailmerge letter. I have come across some examples of this on here but unfortunately they have not posted the code with the solution. ( http://www.tek-tips.com/viewthread.cfm?qid=1703359 )
For examples let say I want to copy coordinates 1 ,1 length 15 from attachmate to excel sheet 1 cell A1 ""without"" opening the spreadsheet.
Currently I know how to do this when the spreadsheet is open. but for this mailmerge to be successful i do not want the user to keep having to open the excel spreadsheet.
I am pretty new to attachmate and would greatly appreciate any help or a little frame work which i can build upon.

AFAIK the workbook must be opened when writing from your terminal emulator and when running MailMerge using Excel as data source. The Excel Application need not be visible.
I imagine that your code will be in Word?
You really have two separate procedures: 1) Scrape screen and load Excel, 2) Run MailMerge. Each can be run independently or consecutively.
Skip,
for a NUance!

You mentioned 'The Excel Application need not be visible.' . How is that sir...im a newbie apologies if this is a dumb question ? Any example code of this you can direct me too or write as an example to use as a guideline ?
