Great series Dave ... especially appreciate the look into new tools.

Nice vid, this looks like a great tool! I used to see your name a lot on the BP forums, I had no idea you also made vids.
I definitely see a lot of similarities with some bigger tools, like Blue Prism (the way it handles Excel, naming of actions), UiPath (ctrl + K for variables, usage of data types), Kofax (integrated web browser) and AA (build each step on a new text line)

Already finding openbots much snappier and responsive to work with vs Power Automate. Great video and thanks for highlighting this program as an option that's out there.

So I'm completely new to RPA. Having said that, your video was easy to follow. Would you be able to help me on how I can select an item from a dropdown list based off the entry in Excel? The selection must match exactly.

Hello Dave, i am trying to open "Create Application" under excel commands but i am getting any exception saying that object reference not set to Instance. Actually after looking into video i tried to do the same but one change i identified that i am not getting the Excel instance name by default. It is asking for the name but still it is not taking any user created name,

Thank you for the thorough review, it is a very promising tool.

Hi
I am getting “object reference not set to an instance of an object error “ on :
1 . Prompt input command
2 . Click on start button - rpachallenge

Could you pls let me understand this situation?

Hi Dave, Thank you for the knowledge . Can you please help with reading gridview information from windows based application into Datatable (for further validation Eg: selecting nth row from gridview)

Hi, I am new to rpa and have gotten frustrated by the various programs that lead you down a path to "pay or this will not work". Brilliant that that trap has been avoided. However, it woud be good for beginners if there were a tutorial or 3 with nice slow easy novice jobs. regards John hancock

HI, I know this video is quite old but I'm trying to copy what's presentthed on a video. Sadly I've hit a wall couse RPAChallenge doesn't load in the Web Element Recorder ( You type in site's adress but all you get is white screen) As I said i know this video is old but if anybody stumbled on this comment and knew how to resolve this issue I would be glad if he commented.

openrpa is also a great alternative with great support.

This is no longer free, right? All Im seeing is a 30 day free trial. Just checking Im not mistaken.

I loved the possibilities with Openbots, until the Openbots Server became a subscription product @ 2k/mo...
