Macros in XP

LeCynthia · 27th September 2006, 09:09 AM

Is there a way to record macros in XP Pro? The last time I did this was on a Win 2000 machine and it was a pretty elaborate macro that opened like 3 programs and entered data as they opened. I just can't see an option for it in XP.

Thanks.

I ended up buying ezmacros. $30 and it does everything I want it to.

There's a trial version so you can test it before you buy.

I use Macro Express. You don't think I'm going to type Paul C. Anagnostopoulos every time, do you?
