Selecting items by name from a drop down list

JEH · Post by **JEH** » Tue Jan 08, 2008 5:05 pm

I have recorded a macro that selects a value from a drop down list. This shows up in the macro as follows

TAG POS=1 TYPE=SELECT FORM=NAME:groups ATTR=NAME:selection CONTENT=5

My problem is that I will only know the TEXT to be selected not its position in the drop down list, as the list constantly changes. What do I need to substitute after CONTENT= to select the attribute that matches the TEXT I supply as a variable.

Any help would be appreciated.

TAG POS=1 TYPE=SELECT FORM=NAME:groups ATTR=NAME:selection CONTENT=$Text Value

Many thanks to both of you for taking the time to reply.

I have read up on the TAG command and my macro is running like a dream.
