we have Windows Server 2003 with some native (window-based) applications. We need to repeat several times the same action (writing some numbers in dialogs and clicking some buttons). Is there any application/scripting language which will allow me to simulate those mouse clicking and writing (different) data into window dialogs ? Something which will automatize all those boring actions ... ?

As an aside I would use this sort of automation only as an absolute last resort. – Kyle Brandt♦ Aug 16 '10 at 13:27

Maybe AutoIt can help you. It provides a scripting language and brings some functions to interact with other processes as a user would do

And AutoIt scripts can be compiled into a stand-alone executable for computers without an AutoIt interpreter installed. – jscott Aug 16 '10 at 13:31

AutoIt can interact with dialogue windows in the way that you are asking.
