Smile How do I Program another Program? !

Hi all,

I am 'only' good at running VBA inside excel and acess, as I work in commodities in the finance industry, so don't know about what programming languages are best for what.

I have an application that works well which runs using JAVA 1.4.1_01, but all the buttons etc have to be manually pressed to make the program work.

Is there such a program that could do the work of a human pushing the buttons when needed,? The buttons are in the same place on the screen. Whatever this new program will be, it will need to be able to pick up some data from Excel (say a cell value for example).

I have heard of VB programs running other programs but as this one in particular is run on Java is it possible?

Thanks in advance for your advice.

There are scripting languages that can launch, press buttons, etc. AutoIT and AutoHotKey are a couple of starts.
