Thanks guys! partials work good and the web1.find is so much more reliable then nextElement (in my case). I can actually search the NPI registry now..A few more years of this and I might start to get the hang of it. BTW...the following does not seem to work: Do wait .5 loop until web1.busy = False I can see the progress bars loading up, but the above just ignore the =False portion and the script continues on it's merry way. If the page has not blanked out does web1.busy = False by default?

What's the page here - the way you describe this sounds odd to me J There's also ways of going further in depth into the contents of the page too - beyond the basic commands. Tough for me to diagnose / prescribe - may want to call into our support folks. And I can collate what the results were afterwards and send on to group here so to speak. Regards, Thom Thom C.

Thanks for the info Thom, unfortunately every line in the Webdocment page ends in Details or Search. There is not one single identical line on either page. which sucks! I'm guessing wild card characters cannot be used for any text after the <>@ or partials? Thanks.

There is not the concept of "in a field-ness" like you have with other systems. Really what the Web connection does is scan a static list of items for what you want - then does <something> to what you found - or errors out if it doesn't find what you're looking for (if you set Timeout). So to handle "conditional logic" what you want to do is see if one of the possibilities exists within the static list. >From reading the below - it looks like you get a "results page" that may have different content - that's good because it's the easiest to handle. What you do here is use a Pause command for something "at the top" (or bottom) of the page that indicates the page has loaded - and is common regardless of the result data. You can use a timeout + on error goto errh to handle "other possibilities" - a 404, an error page etc. Once the Pause is satisfied, then you'd want to use a series of find commands (note: if the paused for item is "below" the things you're looking to find, be sure to use a First command) If web1.find "Account details indicator element" then - read the details If web1.find "Account not found indicator element" then - do whatever My suggestion here for speed would be to have the first if find statement be the "most common" - since find is obviously fairly resource intensive.

Ok, no such thing as a pauseloop for webpages, so I have starting using the pause string. This seems to work pretty good, however, if every field is the same except for one word change (in every field) is it possible to use an if statement with the pause string? I.E. If pause "<A>@account.search.com" then else pause "<A> account.details.com". If I do an account search and no information exists, I get the search page back but with "no account found". If there is an account I get the account details page. How do I pause for either/or? Or would a wait string be more appropriate? Thanks.

Is there a way to read contents of a webpage without BWS getting hung-up because it's not finding the "View" point? I would like to a site search. But have been unable to get past "No record found." or multiple records found. Unfortunately not much changes on the site. No records looks the same as the initial search screen with the exception of "No records" being displayed on the left. I'll have to play with the reading tables script found in the script center to figure out multiple records. Thanks.
