Dear Forum members,  so glad to be here. I have a few thousand cells I need to populate into web based database that has no option for importing aaarrrgghhh.

 

Anyway, first of all I could not get AHK to be recognized by my Windows XP until I ran the "Installer". 

 

CAUTION: I tried at first to download and run the binary ex.Unicode 32-bit but was not succesful - DUH :/

 

Okay, so know I have a test script as shown below.

#z::Run www.google.com

 

When I doubled click it, instead of launching AHK, it just opened the .txt that I created.

 

Very furstrating ! Then I realized my laptop was not reckonizing  the .ahk file extension the used.

 

Okay, so I had to associate .AHK with AutoHotKey.  I did this by right clicking my googletest.ahk file, and using "open with" to associated the two.

 

Thought this would help beginners, because this post started out as a begging for help post, but as I typed it out, my head started to clear and I actualy figured it out.....Ahhh the power of sharing !
