 |
|
I have two applications which I would like to transfer data, from one to the other...
Because there are no import/export options, I figured I could use VDS as an intermediary.
As a test, I am using Word and Excel. Say in Excel I want to read/copy the cell contents and paste them into Word, complete with tabs between the data and carriage returns where the row ends and a new one begins.
There are the logisitics of checks for empty cells etc. I thought about using lists and posting the contents to an ini file maybe and then using that as a basis for creating the Word document.
Of course, the application I want to get the data into is very much a form-filling application, so I guess it will be tabbing and pasting, but questions arise on how I can keep an eye on where I am in the application and how to read the contents of the fields etc.
Am I expecting too much here?
Any thoughtss would be appreciated!
Thanks
Dave |
