Greetings. I'm not sure this is the correct forum to ask something like this, but I've got to start somewhere, right? We've got an IBM mainframe, with 3270 on our machines to access the data. We can write VB script to automate the completion of repetitive tasks, and it actually saves countless hours of what would otherwise be manual work. The problem is that when running a script, the speed is strangly dependent upon whether or not the mouse cursor is moving over the VB file. For example, say my VB script can perform a transaction in 5 seconds when the mouse is not moving over the VB file that is running. I can then move the mouse cursor in any direction or distance, as long as it is moving somewhere over the VB script file, and the script can all of the sudden perform the same transactions in 2 seconds. My first thought was to get one of those things people have on their desks that rock back and forth, producing a repetitive blue wave, and simply sit my mouse on it. My next thought was to have a program that would just move the cursor around. I'm not even sure that is possible, let alone how I would go about doing it. Any ideas or thoughts? Thanks.
Greg
