Re: Using File Transfer Add-in in Excel with a macro

Doesn't a macro record key strokes, not mouse moves?

you.

Subject: Using File Transfer Add-in in Excel with a macro

All -
I am by no means an Excel expert, but I'm trying to learn...

Is there a trick necessary to use the iSeries Access file transfer

add-in within an Excel macro? As a test:

1) I created a new macro named "Macro1" by selecting Tools -> Macro ->

Record New Macro from the Excel Toolbar

2) Then I selected Data -> Transfer Data from iSeries, and selected and
ran the file transfer to pull the data into the spreadsheet.

3) Then I stopped macro recording.

However when I try to run it nothing happens, and I went into the Visual
Basic Editor for the module this is all that i find:

Sub Macro1()
'
' Macro1 Macro
' Macro recorded 1/24/2006 by Steve Landess '

'
End Sub
