Hi all,
I am automating order creation in JDE.
The system is very old. I am not sure which version the company has, I think that is 8.1.
The automation process is done within Excel VBA. The VBA code interacts with Internet Explorer web page where JDE is opened, gets HTML controls, searches for the requierd input boxes / buttons / etc. Most of the coding is already done. Sometimes it gets buggy but that's better than nothing.
The problem I'm having now is how to enter text to the Header Attachments - The DOM Explorer does not recognize this element.
If I get this right, that is an ActiveX element (Media Objects). Please see a screenshot attached.
Is there a way to 'capture' this control and paste text? Or some other way to do it programmatically?
As a solution, I've read about converting it to HTML:
But I also need to Characterize text on the next step. If I get that right, converting to HTML won't work in that case.
I'm quite new to JDE - apologies if my questions or statements are not clear.
I didn't get a competent technical answer in my organization, didn't find answers on the web. Even found this site quite recently.
Any help is much appreciated.
Regards,
Andrey

Media Object Text Attachment in Chrome
Hi All, We can see the Media Object Text attachment in IE but not in Chrome. From what I know this is a known issue, but is there a way/setting that can enable seeing it in Chrome. We are using JDE 9.1
