Locked Computer & Auto-It

[neuro]

Hi guys,

I was wondering if anyone would have an easy solution to having my script run while my computer is locked. It's on a domain so it's very important that it's locked but I have some scheduled Crystal Reports that need a little help from auto-it to be completely automatized. If I lock my computer up, the script won't work and I know there must be another way do this then to use "WinWaitActive". Any advice? Thanks in advance.

While 1
    WinWaitActive ( "Excel Format Options" )
        Send ( "{TAB}" )
        Send ( "{DOWN}" )
        Send ( "{DOWN}" )
        Send ( "{ENTER}" )
WEnd

You would not be able to operate with active windows wilst the computer is locked. Try using WinWait and the Control* functions to handle the windows instead.

Something like this may help

While 1
    WinWait ( "Excel Format Options" )
    ControlSend ( "Excel Format Options", "", "", "{TAB}{DOWN 2}{ENTER}" )
WEnd

Supply a ControlID to ControlSend if possible.

I tested it quickly and it worked. I can't thank you enough.

I had the same problem when I have a scheduled process to extract exported data. There is a screen saver lock which I had to log back in and the MS scheduler does not have the feature. Take a look a this
