I think I used the Control text and the marker I pulled to the line with the different text. It shows that way, but still apparently actually ignores the text within the window and reacts the same to any such window. I'll try the If; I've never used it but I keep getting more proficient, especially with the help of this community. Thanks for the suggestion!

I have a program (Movie Collector) which I don't want to update to the new version. When it starts, a window with title: Collectorz.com Movie Collector 4.10 pops up, with text under the title: "A newer version of Movie Collector is available, would you like more" (blah blah) I have a successful macro to close it, using the text under static window control, activated by that same control + text. The problem is: Movie Collector uses the same window title, but with different text, for other popup messages such as "Are you sure you want to ..." and the macro runs even when the text under the window title is different, and I keep getting error messages saying "The specified control, C1, could not be found" Can I get it to react only to the window title and/or text of window title , but nowhere else when the window title is the same as the activation?

Thank you both! The variable worked, and as I'm letting others use my macros, the added text I could write for the popup will help them. As always, the forum replies are right to the point!

I have a form to fill in in a program and I have a macro that does almost everything, except that one keystroke differs each time (the alternatives are m4, m5, and m6). So I have the macro waiting for a keypress and using ENTER after I type in the number. Is it possible to eliminate the extra ENTER and have something detect that I have added one key press, and then move on to the rest of the macro? Either any key, or any numeric key, or some such would be fine. I know it's reductionist to want to eliminate the one extra ENTER, but maybe with variables (I've never used them)??? Thanks in advance
