Thanks EndFunc, I did use the AutoIt Win Info tool but the text in the dialog actually doesn't display in that tool. I did a copy/paste from the help/tutorial and verified that the copied text is identical to what is actually displayed in the dialog. Based on my troubleshooting, I agree, in this case the text is not really needed, it works without it; It's just a case of this is only the 2nd tutorial and I was already having trouble. I've been in the industry long enough though that 1 minor problem isn't a show stopper, I still like what I see in AutoIt. Geosoft, when I get the chance I will look up those functions.

I'm totally new to AutoIT so I may be either repeating something that has already been discussed or more likely being totally stupid. In either case I would rather report this in case it is an actual bug. I was working through the Tutorials and ran into a problem with the "Simple Notepad Automation". Specifically the line WinWaitActive("Notepad", "Do you want to save") was not detecting the dialog as active and therefore not firing the following send. As a diagnostic I removed the "Do you want to save" text and it worked. I verified the text is still the same on that dialog even though I am in Windows 7. If there is any additional info needed I'll be happy to provide it.
