I've been using Autohotkey to automate our Data Base Management system. But mostly using mouse movements. The browser interface has a lot of menu flyouts and popups which I can't seem to activate any other way. Unfortunately due to peek high traffic times my wait times are excessive.
 
Attached are a few screenshots of the interface and IE developer widow. I'd like to be able to select the "Create BOM Item..." from the flyout menu directly.  Any pointers would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for the reply.

 

I'll run thru the tutorial before I ask any more question.

Still Greek to me. Sorry if my terminology is incorrect. This is an example of my noobie script that uses mouse moves to select the flyout menus. This script works and extracts data from the spreadsheet and inputs in into the database but I can't seem to figure out how to select those buttons any other way.

Is it weird that the Row element  ID was  "tremx796082906740.9669" and today it's TR id=tremx625120356443.9403 for the Create BOM Item...?

Done.

I'm a poor excuse for a programmer but I think if I could get an example of how to select the "Create BOM Item..." button I could run with it.

Thx for any help.
