Newbie needs help building a simple script.

[BrokenDynasty]

I need some help making a program in autoIT. I downloaded v3 and looked at the samples but none of them helped me much. I need a program to essentially hit the "tab" key a random number of times (between 1-5) and then press the "space" bar to fill one of the 5 checkboxes. After this, I want it to tab the remainder of the boxes (so 5-originalRandomNumber) and then insert a comment randomly taken from a bank of comments into a textbox.

Anyone that can help will be greatly appreciated you can email me some pointers or your IM name at simontalent(at)aol.com

look up send or sendkey in the help file. Then look up special characters

You may also want to look at ControlSend. Sending a {NUMPADADD} to a check box turns it on. Use an array that contains the names of the checkboxes and an array with your random statements. Review the help file for more information on these topics.
