   I am new at this but I  just finished a very similar process. The
solution was to add
       Wait 0.3  ( maybe longer if needed)
  between statements to ensure you are where you think the PC should be at
   that moment.

Subject: [Talk] Trouble using At() to test for prompts

I am trying to ensure that I am at the correct screen / prompt so that the
script can go ahead and run.

During the test, I navigate to the "Process a Patient [EMAIL PROTECTED],1" screen,
and let the cursor stay at the "Patient [EMAIL PROTECTED],1" prompt (either blank or 
with
a patient ID). The script flows as I expect.

The next test is to enter the patient ID, and the cursor is then blinking at
"[EMAIL PROTECTED],1".

But when I press the hot key combination, I get my error message from the
'If At("Patient [EMAIL PROTECTED],1") Then' test.

I added the 'At ""' to clear the At command, but it didn't make a
difference. I then debugged my way through the At command as best I could,
and it displays the r object in the watch window as having all of the
information for the "Patient [EMAIL PROTECTED],1" (not what I expected).

Is my logic incorrect? Am I not refreshing something as I should? Should the
'At ""' clear out the r object, and, if not, what does 'At ""' do that is
considered a reset?

Any help or observations appreciated.

Below is my function that is no working.

Function StartScreen() As Boolean
    If At("Process a Patient [EMAIL PROTECTED],1") Then
        At ""
        If At("Patient [EMAIL PROTECTED],1") Then     'If here, then patient hasn't 
been
                                         'entered yet; can't proceed.
            MsgBox "Patient must be entered before WinStrat processing can
begin."
            StartScreen = False
            At ""
            Exit Function
        Else
            Pause "[EMAIL PROTECTED],1"   'Ensure that we are at the selection field
            StartScreen = True
        End If
    Else
        MsgBox "Must be in - Process a Patient Abstract - screen to use
WinStrat interface hot key."
        StartScreen = False
    End If
    At ""
End Function
