Greetings, Sounds like you're in a situation where the element you want to click has a "find string" that matches elements higher up in the page - hence the need for a for - next loop. That's not a bad approach btw - but another approach is to find an element that is closer to what you want to click, build a Pause (or find - both would accomplish the same goal here) command for it, then your click.

I have found what I want to click but, I will have to run a for/next loop 7 times to in order for it to actually get to the element that I want. I know about web1.find and Click, but I must be doing something wrong because it is not working for me. Thanks, Garrett S.
