I'm wondering in anyone has ever used a keystroke recorder in a Windows Network system. In particular I'm looking for a recorder that'll work in Excel with Oracle.
The intention is not to monitor input or anything sinister, but to create a macro in excel that will take info from a spreadsheet and work in another application by recording the keystrokes needed (Oracle 10.7), any suggestions please?

Not exactly a key stroke recorder but MS Excel comes with VBA (Visual Basic for Applications) and has a recorder.

See Excel Tools, Macros, Record.

Thanks, I can't get that to work outside of Excel though!

VBA works with MS Office applications but you can use it to import non-MS applications such as Oracle but not the other way around.

Google has a lot of hits for "Keystroke recorders".
