Hi. I have this program that I need to run at times when I'm either asleep or gone. I need a way to open the program at a specific time, then run a few mouse point and clicks, wait some time, then a few more keyboard inputs. I assume some sort of macro or freeware would do the trick. Any suggestions on where to start. Thanks.
I can get it to open at the time using task scheduler, but I need a way to also do the mouse clicks.

You'll probably need to configure that from within the program in question.

The program doesn't have that capability. I was thinking of some sort of screen macro, that would record my mouse clicks and carridge returns, and set a certain time. Thanks.

What are you trying to do with mouse clicks that you can't do another way?

I have a program that I need to run when I'm not here. When I open the program, I need to hit a buttom so it logs on, then another to complete the transaction. I need to automate it so it will work if I'm not home, or at 2 am without having to get up. The times I would need to do this change, but I would know the day or two before.

What kind of interface and app are you dealing with?

It's a program called winbid, which is an airline scheduling program. What I want to do is automate when I can change my schedule, and there is a four hour window in which to do it, changing times and dates. I can set the program up early, and all I need to do is hit one button, wait about 1 minute, then do a carrige return. Not to dificult, but I don't know where to start.
