drocus Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 Hi Guys! I'm totally new to scripting and this software might as well be in a foreign language. I don't see anything telling me even where to start. Here's what I need to do: Run a report in Quickbooks, then save that report into 4 different folders on my network. I would like to schedule it to happen 3 times per day. I thought I could do it with a mouse recorder... Any help/guidance/advice would be appreciated. Thanks, Denise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyan Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 (edited) "Run a report in Quickbooks" Can you be more specific? Using Scite (autoit editor) you can write code with autocomplition (it guesses what you want to write), for example, you want to copy the report to 4 different folders, so you use FileCopy(),but you don't know how to use this function, simple thing, just write FileCopy, put the cursor marker in FileCopy word and hit F1 key, it will open the FileCopy's help file with all you need to know If you are a starter, may you want to look into examples: http://www.autoitscript.com/forum/forum/9-example-scripts/(but there's a begginers guide somewhere, I think melba23 has it on his signature) PS: you need to save the project/au3 file first (in case is a new au3 file) in order to help files work with scite (I don't know why it is this way, but that how it is) EDIT: You mean this: https://support.quickbooks.intuit.com/support/Articles/INF12339 Edited April 22, 2015 by Kyan Heroes, there is no such thing One day I'll discover what IE.au3 has of special for so many users using it.C'mon there's InetRead and WinHTTP, way better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
computergroove Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 (edited) Is quickbooks always open on someones machine or do you need the script to open quickbooks to get the reports? Is PDF a good format for the reports? Not to be that guy but if you would rather I can make the script for you for a price. Edited April 21, 2015 by computergroove Get Scite to add a popup when you use a 3rd party UDF -> http://www.autoitscript.com/autoit3/scite/docs/SciTE4AutoIt3/user-calltip-manager.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drocus Posted April 22, 2015 Author Share Posted April 22, 2015 Quickbooks is always open. As for "run a report", it's just a matter of making selections from various menus. The reports are generated in .csv format. Computergroove - depending on the price, that may be agreeable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
