Joe: These questions may be a bit dumb, but sometimes the dumb questions lead to the answer by getting you to think outside the (text)box. :-)
Is the entry "..." allowed in the results field by Meditech? Can this be entered manually? I would hope some sort of error checking is done by Meditech, but, ya' know, bugs are bugs for a reason. OR Does the entry of comments somehow cause the deletion, or clearance, of the result field? Again, what happens manually?

For example: .Key "..." .Wait 1 .Key "^{RIGHT}" .Wait 2 Again, I can see the "..." being entered and it's always there on the screen as the script is entering text into the comment box. Then, sometimes, when it closes the comment box, the text "..." in the result field disappears.

If the .Key occurs before the application is ready to receive it, it may throw it out.

I'm not sure if it is a scripting issue or maybe even Meditech. My script always enters results this way: '...' (thats 3 periods) into the result field then it opens the result text comments box and enters text then it saves and gets out. Code: - enter result and open comment box .Key "..." .Pause ("@,27") .Key "^{RIGHT}" .Wait 2 - then it enters the text into the comments box and gets out and saves the accession The problem is that sometimes (and there is no pattern to this), the "..." in the result field does not get saved. It disappears after the comments box is closed. The accession status changes, the text is in the comments box, but there is no text in the result field. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you.
