Since you're already familiar with Java and using that for your Selenium RC tests, I'd recommend you stick to that route. There are some java libraries for reading pdfs as well as likely excel and word files, search on google, I'd recommend the same for interacting with the Windows dialog which must be possible in Java, there's also a java to com bridge library called Jacob which you might look into: http://danadler.com/jacob/
My take is to stay with your current structure unless there's sufficient reason to introduce Watir. -Charley On 4/26/07, Paul Rogers <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
