We had an Epicor consultant suggest 'Ground Control' software from website. I still miss the ease of VBA scripted telnet hosted character based apps (reading data from csv files as you suggested).

For the occasional mass entry now (100-800 records), using a single record at a time macro cuts the manual entry time by at least a factor of 4 (and I get to see unexpected conditions/error messages that can result in further insight to other problems not resolved yet). We're through the worst of our post go live (almost a year ago) scrambling to do mass re-entry/corrections of data that didn't import as expected.

I'm happy just to replace 4 orÂ 10 mouse clicks and keystrokes with a simply AutoKey macro launch mouse click to do one record at a time updating.

That likely means so error handling code to handle situations where a record key being entered pops up an unexpected dialog box due to some odd condition. Just be careful with them until you gain confidence they can get through all your input records. That doesn't mean you can't get some benefit from script engines though. The Vantage Apps (more importantly - the controls themselves) do a piss-poor job of notify the OS when they are active (and ready for input). That's the basic problem with any scripting (even should-be-simple vba stuff out of AccessÂ or Excel).

Software like autohotkey
