Thank you, Anthony! That worked! Seeing as how that is not a link I didn't even think to try link (DOH).
Also, the xpath works fine, it's just that each button's outer text contains all of the other button names surrounding it so they were all being called by an open call to "Process". Otherwise that should have worked fine.
