have a need at the office that could save about several hundred people a lot of time in an upcoming conversion of data from an old project management application to a new one. In the old application, financial data is presented on a web page in 12 cells across (for 12 months) and in several rows. The new application, also web based, presents a similar row of 12 cells across and several rows down. I am able to start in the upper left most cell in the old system and highlight the number and use control-c to copy the data and then move to the new application and use control-v to paste the data. I then have to reposition the cursor to the next cell by using the tab key. Is there a utility I can "train" to start in the upper left cell by indicating the location of the first cell in the old and new application and one-at-a-time copy/paste each corresponding cell from old to new application. I have tried using Excel as the source data but it, too, only works copying one cell at a time. Or is this something that could be built in visual basic? I would like to be able to specify how many cells across and how many rows of data. Have you ever seen something like that?? Neil Lesser nless@bellsouth.net
