Sending a string variable to outlook input box --> "This Field requires a value"

[Vale9999]

Hello everyone

I am trying to send the email adress and password to input boxes in outlook

Unfortunatly I always get the Error "This Field requires a value".

Variable $email2 is generated from the window text which is cut into the string I want.

Variable $pwd is entered in a autoit inputbox.

If I just set the variables like that: $pwd = "meow123" - it works...

Some samples of my code:

$pwd = InputBox("Password","Enter your Windows Password to connect your Mailbox automatically","","*")
While $sc <> 0
   $Addacc = WinGetText("Add New Account")
   $StringCut = StringSplit($Addacc,":")
   $len=StringLen($StringCut[4])
   $email=StringLeft($stringcut[4],$len-7)
   $email2 = StringLeft($email,stringlen($email)-1)
   $compare2 = StringRight($email,15)
   $sc = StringCompare($compare1, StringLeft($compare2,14))
WEnd
   Send("{TAB}")
   Send("{TAB}")
   Send("{BS}")
   Sleep(1000)
   Send($email2) ;This is where I get the error Msgbox from outlook.
   Sleep(2000)
   Send("{TAB}")
   Sleep(1000)
   Send($pwd)

In case you wonder, why there is a while loop - Sometimes it takes longer to load the window and i just want to be sure it saves the correct string.

Thanks in Advance.

Welcome to AutoIt and the forum!

To make sure that the window has loaded use WinWait and/or WinWaitActive.

Is this a script to create Outlook profiles?

Thank you.

Yes, it is.

You could create a PRF-file and then import the new profile by starting "Outlook.exe /importprf profile.prf"

Details can be found here.

BTW: Please have a look at my OutlookEX UDF (User Defined Functions) which makes scripting for Outlook much easier.

Thank you.

I guess that would be a lot more professional

And more reliable

Sending keystrokes to windows is possible but quite unreliable (user can easily interrupt the script).

If you need to send data or click buttons use AutoIts Control commands.

I'm surprized, thanks!
