Hello John, Also take a look at Mecurial, it is free, and it is a macro recorder for Browsers. Actually it is a full blown testing tool for web apps, but you might be able to use it very effectively. haha, I just re-read my sentence and it sounds like I am obsessed with Mecurial, actually the application is Selenium <http://seleniumhq.org/> I am dying to work with it, HTH Mark On 16 June 2010 16:59, jwcolby <jwcolby at colbyconsulting.com> wrote: > I have a client that has to do data entry into an internet screen.
