Anybody else have any suggestions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevin Posted May 4, 2009 Report Share Posted May 4, 2009 ...you may simply need to re-define %C1% in the Get Control %C1% command. You're right. A specific Window Control generally changes from one version of a program to another. Some people use this to determine which version of a program is running (e.g. Word 2003 vs Word 2007). You will need to recapture the control in the Get Control command. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
