Thanks, Gintaras. I have implemented these wait and childtest functions with great results. They work on my computer consistently and flawlessly. Every time I open up a customer record in QuickBooks, my macro takes over with an alternate dialog and macro to collect and manipulate data. It works regardless of whether I Alt-Tab back and forth between several applications. I've been unable to make it malfunction.
The problem is that I've developed it for a client and in testing it on his computer, it works only sporadically. When launched, the tray icon turns red, and for a few times the macro works. Then for some reason, even though it is still red, the appearance of the QuickBooks window no longer activates the macro. I've been completely unable to duplicate the problem on my system, which is running the same XP operating system. I'm using 2.1.4
What are some possible issues, events or settings that can interfere with or disable (although still a red icon) the macro when waiting for a window? I tried unchecking the "Disable Windows Foreground-Lock feature" in runtime options, but it does not seem to make a difference.
Thanks, Craig
