In my first post for this question I show my code. The code below (part of first post) should allow you to attach to a modal dialog. With the code below I can access the fields on the modal dialog with the "iemod" object that gets created. If you look at the first post I also had a frame to contend with. Just use "iemod" instead of "ie" to access the fields in the dialog.
50.times do begin iemod = ie.modal_dialog # this does find the dialog puts "** dialog found **" break rescue puts "** dialog not found **" sleep(1) end end On Sep 21, 1:04 pm, Joe Fleck <joeflec...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi George, > > Thank for responding.
