Posted on by 508

I am stuck, I have to run a procdss to upload files into a web portal.  First I had a really hard time to find how to press the Choose file button. Nothing worked except OCR "Choose File".  Now I am having issues inputing the file location.  I first one to enter in the file location and then I will input the specific file I want it to grab.  My roadblock is trying to input the file location. I read some forums and they suggested using populate text in window but it doesnt work. It cannot find the file location bar.  Is there a back end way I can do this.  I spent half a day trying to get this to work. UI Automation doest Work , Web Form filling doesnt work.  Please help!

Desparate user.

    Does your window have this at the bottom?

    If so, the cursor typically defaults to this field, so you can just use Send Keys

    Send Keys %FilePath%{Enter}

    Wait 1

    Send Keys %FileName%{Enter}
