Hi Lan,
Thanks for sharing valuable info.
I have another query.
We can now block user inputs. But in my automation three is copy & paste work going on continuously in Excel before plotting the graphs.
During copy paste of excel data, if user by mistake doing some copy & paste operation outside excel(for e.g. doing copy paste in outlook mails, firefox browser etc), it may be cause for the another error.
How i can control this?
Thanks & Regards
