Just curious, I am also trying to learn some VB. Is there a way to do the active command in straight VB?

To use: Activate "Portion of Window Caption" The Activate has an optional Wait parameter, if set to True, it behaves like a Pause command - and responds to a Timeout interval as well If set to False, it will throw an error if the window is not found. To read the screen - use a View command - Highlight where you text shows up in the Application viewer and select View (icon with the "eye glasses") Regards, Thom Thom C.

I want to be able to tell if a program is open or not before the script continues. Also, how do I go about reading text from the meditech workstation. I need to know what batch number is created each time the script runs. Thanks, Yopu guys have been a massive help so far! Gary
