Pop-up Boxes "locking Up" Macro Express

[IceBox]

Hey guys. I think I got a real mystery here. I posted something about this already in this forum WAY back in January 2005. The link is HERE

 

Rather than start over, please read that post first and then I will continue from there...

 

Anyway... now this has gotten a bit trickier. I have created 2 different macros that attempt to press "n" for the notify button when the "File In Use" box pops up. One is the actually macro that I need this to apply to, and the other is a very short macro designed only to test this particular problem.

 

When I run the "real" macro, it hangs up when that box appears. The script looks like this:

Then I created a short macro just to test it, and it works just fine. That script looks like this:

 

<GETCONTROL2:01:EXCEL.EXE:bosa_sdm_XL9File in Use000:><DELAY:5><IFCONTROL:03:01><TEXTTYPE:n><ENDIF>

 

Can anybody see something in the first code that would cause this not to work?
