I did this once, back in Windows 3.0. Scheduling is tricky with a modal dialog up, but if you do it from a hook function of some sort, you might just get scheduled. Also, I've heard mention of something called Microsoft Test, which came out after I'd quit doing Windows hardcore. What, you were hoping this would be easy?

I don't remember how you you selected it to start it up, but I do remember using it in a previous job ('95-'96 time frame) to record mouse movements on the screen and replay the motions ad infintium until you manually stopped the macro. We ran it on Win95, haven't yet moved to NT then. What if I track down a hard drive or CD with Win95 on it? Could I extract the recorder EXE file and use it? Would it even install, let alone run, under NT 4 or Win98? Maybe some other company has their own recorder program available as shareware or freeware? When I can break away from reality I'll hit a few sites to see if such a utility exists. Site recommendations anyone? BConnors "Prepare for metamorphosis. Ready, Kafka?"
