Is possible for a macro to do that...

We made an application in Oracle, to calculate some values that must to be into a user defined screen at Part Maintenance Window, the problem is when we return to this screen from the application, the calculated data doesn't appears until the screen is refreshed mannually, if we don't refresh the screen and the users save, the wrong data is saved. We need a macro that can refresh the screen when we return from the application in oracle to Part Maintenance window. Is it possible to do with a macro?

To my knowledge, it is not possible to refresh the screen from a macro.

We have had a similar problem in triying to save values in the Part table from the Part Maint screen. The transaction applications refresh automatcially, but the Maintenance screens do not - and that causes the problem you are describing.

Perhaps, if I knew what information you are calculating and what field you are trying to store the value in, I could offer another suggestion.

When I was first reviewing the available materials on macro programming, which were all user conference presentations, I saw the Sendkeys windows methods recommended for actions such as this. I have never had to use it myself. Sendkeys sends data to Windows as if it were coming from the keyboard interface, so you would have to use Alt+___ and Ctrl+___ type of codes to do it. If you can do the refresh from the keyboard, you can do it from Sendkeys.
Look in the knowledge base for Sendkeys, and Google for Sendkeys, Microsoft's entry is the first one that pops up, and there are many more.

Best of luck

Thank both,
Ikeepers: we are calculating some data and it can be stored into the user defined fields.
dmccoll: your suggestion sounds interesting, I'll be researching about it. Keep in touch.
