Paste to another program, impossible?
This is probably impossible, but it would be very nice if it wasn't.
My company uses a Unix-based system, which is accessed at our Windows workstations using NetTerm, which is an old-fasioned terminal program. Every month, I have a list of reports I want to run on that system. Instead of typing in everything for each one, over five separate screenfuls of data, I have found that I can arrange the entries I need into a column in Excel, copy it, and paste the whole thing into the NetTerm window. That zips through the screens and prints out my report.
I have made a script that sets them up one at a time, and copies the range, then pops up a MessageBox to let me know that I can paste them. I have to right-click in the NetTerm window and select Paste, then hit the MessageBox button, which sets up the data range for the next report, copies it, and I have to paste it into NetTerm again.
What I'd like to do, is to have the script itself "Paste" the data into the NetTerm window. Then I could just hit the button, wait for the report to finish, and hit it again instead of right-click/pasting so many times.
I know you can paste into another Excel window, or even another Office program, but is there any way to paste into a non-Microsoft program without changing to that window, pasting, and changing back?
