Very Computer

This is sort of a personal project and I am not making any money on it so I
don't really want to spend a bunch of money for a one-time process.  I am
developing a xbase (.DBF) application and I want the JPG's out of this
Filemaker Pro database that was given to me.

I posted a solution on 07 August in this newsgroup that might help you.

Here is my script I used to do it.   The "repeat 1751" was for the number of
records and {TAB 3} was needed to tab 3 times to the picture field.

MsgBox, 4, Test Script,  Run?
IfMsgBox, NO, Goto, denied

WinActivate, FileMaker Pro

Repeat, 1751

Send, {TAB 3}
Send, ^c
WinActivate, IrfanView
Send, ^v
WinActivate, FileMaker Pro
Send, {TAB}
Send, ^a
Send, ^c
WinActivate, IrfanView
Send, !f
Send, s
Send, ^v
Send, {ENTER}
Sleep, 3000
WinActivate, FileMaker Pro
LeftClick, 332,195

EndRepeat

denied:
Exit
