Combine-Macros.vbs

This example is for combining calls to macros in a single script. It calls the macros: Wsh-Start.iim, Wsh-Lunch.iim, and Wsh-Submit-Button. The example also shows how to create a custom error report log file. The script is also available as PowerShell version.

Similar script: self-test.vbs

'This part is for the script specific error log (instead of popup messages).
'The advantage of an error log instead of a popup is that the script 
'continues running even after an error appears. An example of an error would
'be a timeout due to a temporarily slow web site.
