Overview

Sometimes there are applications that you need to close during startup or fill in the same information every time. A Form Filler is a program that automates the process of filling in windows with particular information that you input and deals with them in any way you want. The commands that you enter are all protected so that without the password they cannot be changed by someone else. Many other implemented features make A Form Filler a really useful program.

Installation

It is very easy to install this program. There is only a small number of steps to follow and the installation will finish quickly. It is safe to install since in the installation package. v3.5 and Microsoft Access Database Engine v12 (or above) are required components for a successful installation.

The software can run without problems in any Windows XP, Server 2003, Server 2008, Vista and 7 OS.

Interface

The simplistic and well-organized interface makes it a user-friendly application that won’t be confusing and hard to use. In the main screen you can see the commands you setup for every window, and an on/off switch next to them. To add a new window to the list you select the Add option from the Actions tab in the menu bar. A small window will appear then, with 3 text boxes; one where you type a small description of the action, one where you select the window this command will be executed and one where you type the keys to send. After filling in the boxes click OK, and that’s it. The automated process is created.

Pros

Not only web forms in browsers are supported, but every application’s window can be added in A Form Filler’s list. After adding an action, you can easily turn it on or off just by clicking on the switch next to it. If you want to keep them in categories you can insert a blank line and separate them this way.

When you’re adding a new key command, A Form Filler distinguishes all the open windows, even the ones that share the same title.

If you don’t want these settings to be changed, you can add a password so that no one without it can change them.

Cons

It would be useful to add a log feature to keep track of all the commands that are available. It would be nice to know if they are executed, when they are executed, when they are disabled and enabled etc.
