TinyTerm, WDS-II and Excel VBA
Can anyone help me with using Excel together with TinyTerm, please?
My company's G/L is based on WDS-II. The current procedure is to run reports on the UNIX box, then FTP them over to the Windows network. The reports then get massaged into Excel tables. What I would like to do is have Excel command WDS-II via TinyTerm to run the reports that I need, on a schedule which I set up. I have tried using SendKeys, with not much success. TinyTerm seems to need to be prodded through. I am now trying DDE. I initiate a channel using DDEInitiate, but nothing seems to happen when I use the DDEExecute command. Am i doing anything wrong with the above methods? Is there a better way to do this? I will try anything, and substitute the software above for any freeware programs, but I need to be able to have the process handled from beginning to end, automatically and unattended. I'd greatly appreciate any ideas. Thanks! |
