The Word file name is going to change regularly, but it will always be the only document open. The screenshots are always the same size, the A-Scan readout is always in the same place. It seems to me, if I select the A-Scan field of the defect record in Access, then select the proper screenshot in the Word Document, right there I should be able to run a script that accomplishes steps 1 thru 5 for me. 5th, I switch to Access and Ctl-v the graphic into the A-Scan field of the defect record. 4th, I Ctl-c to copy the selection, then close the image. 3rd, I maximize the new image and use the mouse to draw a selection box around the 2-inch A-Scan portion (it works out to be coords 500,72 - 737,279) 2nd, I switch to Paint Shop Pro, and Ctl+v, which pastes into a new image. 1st, in the Word document, I Ctl+c the selected screenshot Paint Shop Pro is open and the Selection tool is active. The Word document for the current test is open and the screenshot for the defect I am working on is selected. Access is open, the table is displayed and the defect I am working on is selected.

Here is the routine I've developed for the 1st 40 defects in the table: I must open each Word document to verify that every defect found in that test has a screenshot - because I have found some missing and I absolutely can NOT get the wrong A-Scan attached to a defect! The table defects are grouped by date, each date representing a test.

I have a CD full of Word documents that contain screenshots of the Test System's display for each defect.Įach embedded screenshot includes a 2-inch square that is the A-Scan (think oscilloscope) readout for that defect. I have an Access table full of rail defect records. Trying to determine if AutoHotkey can help me.
