What process are you automating? Many big applications today can be controlled by COM, which is a much more reliable and predictable method of control than hacking window messages. Remember that the "Save As" dialog is in a separate top-level window, and because it is modal, it has its own message loop. -- Tim Roberts, t...@probo.com Providenza & Boekelheide, Inc. _______________________________________________ python-win32 mailing list python-win32@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-win32
