Any processes will still run in the background, and this script usually runs without a problem. Where it runs into trouble (if it does fail) is at the point that the script hits enter to display a drop down menu on the Meditech screen. The menu never drops (these types of menus lose focus and close very easily even w/o scripting). In the script, Meditech actually stalls out about 2 steps before the timeout line - the script continues on though until the pause for title - then initiates the error routine. If I don't put any error handling in the script it runs okay most of the time. We are waiting on server hardware so I can move this script to a secured location. I think that's going to be my only answer. This just appears to be one of those Meditech-isms. In the mean time I've set up a routine at the end of the script to send me a page when it's completed. It drives me nuts going off four time each morning, but at least I know it ran each time.  :)   Thanks Michelle   617-665-3432 617-546-7770 pgr.

It runs okay, but once in awhile it times out at the target screen (Print Queued Reports) because the drop down menu to get into it, loses its focus before the script can get there. Maybe twice or three times a month. I wanted to set up a timeout error to reset the script when this happens. The problem I'm having now is that the On Error GoTo & Timeout statements cause it to timeout ALL the time now (at least it's consistent now). I've tried to Activate the window before selecting the drop down menu, and that works if the workstation isn't locked, but not while it's locked. Any suggestions? The workstation isn't in a secured area, so it can't really run unlocked.  On Error GoTo TimeoutErr   ... more steps ...             Pause "MEDITECH Imaging & Therapeutic Services [EMAIL PROTECTED],1"     Key "{DOWN}{DOWN}{DOWN}{DOWN}{DOWN}"     Wait     Activate "MEDITECH" '*** Bring Meditech window to focus     Enter ""  '*** Enter on drop down menu     Key "{DOWN}{DOWN}{DOWN}{DOWN}{DOWN}{DOWN}{DOWN}"     Enter ""     Timeout = 10     Pause "Print Queued [EMAIL PROTECTED],1"     Pause "@3,8" '*** Report Type prompt  ... more steps ...  TimeoutErr:  ... more steps ...   Thanks Michelle 617-665-3432 617-546-7770 pgr.
