Automation Program

belkira:
I am looking for a piece of  software that can automate a few steps for me. I don't think a standard macro program will work but I could be wrong.

Here is my situation,

The company I work for sends out Fax broadcasts to their Alumni Association. The fax software has this nasty habit of stopping in the middle of its work so you have to restart it. The program does not actually close. What it does is you have the main windows open you goto Fax|Open Port which brings up a second window. In this second window you have to click on the Open button, it then starts the fax process.

Now when it stops working the second window that opened (above) closes but the main window does not have focus. So what I was thinking I would need was something that could see if both windows are open, if not give focus to the main window then run through the restart routine.

Anything like this exist?

Thanks

if you're into scripts, give Autohotkey a try. :)

I don't mean to be a smart ass, but why not just get a faxing application that works?

most probably the company that belkira works for, had signed a contract with a certain vendor who insist that only such and such programs may be used. so they're stuck with all this programs flaws & lack of updates.. my personal experience. :)
