SENDKEYS + Batch Process

Hi All!!!!
as u could see in this subject, this is a little weird problem.. lol

This is it:
I created a .vbs file, it runs a batch process opening an Internet Explorer
Window, logs in an external website , and upload a file from this comp (
where i have the vbs file )
The first problem i had : when i navigate a HTTPS URL , it ask for the
certificate window and i had to click YES manually .. so i used the SENDKEYS
to send 2 TABs and one ENTER to step over that window.. it worked

The second problem : On the upload page, i had to browse the file to upload.
HTML doesnt let u write in a FILE control Value. So i used again the
SENDKEYS to send the full path of the file to upload. It worked.

Now the Actual Problem : this computer has to be locked while the process
runs.. so.. the sendkeys doesnt work becouse the focus it s on the windows
login window.

Anyone has another idea to do what i m trying ?? thnx !! and sorry for my
poor english..


PS: i cant modify the upload web site

Maybe this one will work for you:

curl
http://curl.haxx.se/

THNX !!!
But i dont have to do a simple post to a website, couse it has a login
window first and then i have to navigate that website until i get the UPLOAD
module, and then put the upload file path on the FILE field , and then do a
CLICK in the submit button. When i click it , the "ARE U SURE?" confirm
window appears.. that s why i use SENDKEYS to emule the all process... but
if i task the .vbs , and lock the computer, it doesnt work becaus it does
the sendkeys in the unlock window..

really thanx anyway.. i ll keep looking..


PS: Another way could be try to unlock the computer before run the .vbs ,
and then lock it again... i m trying to do that now..

Thanx that answer helps me to dont waste more time in that.

So, i have to use the SENDKEYS with the user logged in windows..

i have terminal server services... how about creating a domain user only for
this batch app, and log in terminal server , task it , and close the
terminal server window.. would it keep runing ?.. where goes the sendkeys in
that case?..

i ll try that.. but tell me what u think please..

tnx !

For such long search URL's, TinyURL.com is a handy tool, as it produces a
cryptic, but much shorter URL to the same location. Try it out at:

Or clean up the Google URL to just contain the threadm reference:
