Hi Ann: You should try a few things to debug your scripts to see if you are getting any results from these functions. Try putting a sayString at the top of your RetrieveStaticText function. That way you will know if this function is ever called. Also in this function you set the hwnd handle to the value of GetFirstWindow (GetFocus()) It would be a good idea to find out if hwnd is set to anything other than zero. You might try Sayinteger(hwnd) following the let statement. everything else in this function depends on you being able to find the handle for the first window. Therefore, You might want to use an if statement to make sure that you can get the handle for that first window. You could use the following after the let statement. if (hwnd) then ; statements for true value when you get the handle else ; statements for false path when handle is not found. endif In your SayStaticText script you check to see if the window type returned from If GetWindowSubtypeCode (GetFirstWindow (hWnd)) == WT_READONLYEDIT Then ;=43 You should put a saystring prior to the return statement so that you know when you terminate the script early. These things may give you a better idea what is going on.
