I should mention to that I use this function because IDXTerm is a Terminal Emulator that uses windows pop ups so I am connect primarily via another connection type hence the need to break off and connect to a windows connection, deal with the windows pop up, and then return.

Let's say it is from a windows app you are scripting - means you're already connected to the app - and BWS should be seeing the dialog when it appears. First thing you need to do is see about the text in the dialog box - is it showing up in a control or not. The example I saw come across is for a dialog box where the message does show up as a control. Note though, it may not be the same type of control on your application as it is in theirs. Windows is a very wide ranging world - there's all the Microsoft GUI models, Powerbuilder, etc etc. and people can even make their own stuff. I wish the world was as simple as it appears... Good news is, we've seen a lot of this world and can help! Couple of things to try before giving Support a call here. Go into the Advanced Windows Functions - Window List -> refresh (here assuming the dialog is displayed and you are connected to the app) Scan down to see if you see the text you'd want to read. If you do - good, means you can select it in the list, go back, and build a view command - deal with the data etc. If you do not, well means you've got a bit more work to do - and we can help here. Go into Advanced Windows Functions - Textouts Select Start Alt tab to your app and back to this view Stuff should show up - see if your desired text is there. We can assist from here.

Then to either click "OK", "Yes" or "No" depending on what is in the message box. I have not had to create any scripts in the past that interacts with windows applications. Does anyone have an example similar to what I need, I could model. Or a link to an area of the BWS website that may help me? Paul Yagid Women's Health USA 22 Waterville Rd.
