Have Excel send information to another program?
 

I was woundering if it was possiable to have Excel click somewhere
inside of another program and enter the contents of cell A3 into a
specific feild inside of that program??? I can do this with a 3rd party
macro recording tool but thats to dependent on that type of
program...any ideas?

Various way; Automation, DDE, SendMessage, SendKeys.
What is the target app.

I've done it. I used APL+Win with an ActiveX link. But I seriously doubt
you had this software in mind. Just what program would you like to see
communicate with Excel?

Well any program for that matter...the target program would be SAP or
Prophet21. Any ideas of how to develop methods to get this to work
correctly?

You would need to check their documentation to see which of the first 2
methods (if any) they support.
If not, then the second 2 methods will be necessary.
