ControlCommand SelectString working but NOT working

[testmeout]

Guys,

I am able to get my function to work in a new document but within my program selectstring does not work. The function is idential, the only difference is where the variable is coming from. I know it is being caused by my variable but when I debug the variable appears right. If I use just the text instead of a variable in my program then it works, thus proving it is an error with the variable somehow.

Is there a way to report exactly what selectstring is seeing with the variable so I can compare?

In my program I have a log file to debug and I have this code inserted

Info("The Current Variable is: " & $variable)

And the results say The Current Variable is: 109

Which as far as I am concerned should work but doesn't

I'm stumped

Here is my function if it helps at all

expandcollapse popup

$variable = "109"
Func SetupBeta()
    WinActivate("Beta")
    Select
        Case (ControlGetText("Beta", "", "Static23") = "")
        ControlClick("Beta", "", "Button1")
        WinActivate("Select Table", "")
        ControlCommand("Select Table", "", "ListBox1", "SelectString", 'Window - ' & $variable)
        ControlClick("Beta", "", "Button4")
        Case (ControlGetText("Beta", "", "Static37") = "")
        ControlClick("Beta", "", "Button5")
        WinActivate("Select Table", "")
        ControlCommand("Select Table", "", "ListBox1", "SelectString", 'Window - ' & $variable)
        ControlClick("Beta", "", "Button6")
        Case (ControlGetText("Beta", "", "Static51") = "")
        ControlClick("Beta", "", "Button7")
        WinActivate("Select Table", "")
        ControlCommand("Select Table", "", "ListBox1", "SelectString", 'Window - ' & $variable)
        ControlClick("Beta", "", "Button8")
        Case (ControlGetText("Beta", "", "Static65") = "")
        ControlClick("Beta", "", "Button9")
        WinActivate("Select Table", "")
        ControlCommand("Select Table", "", "ListBox1", "SelectString", 'Window - ' & $variable)
        ControlClick("Beta", "", "Button10")
        Case (ControlGetText("Beta", "", "Static79") = "")
        ControlClick("Beta", "", "Button11")
        WinActivate("Select Table", "")
        ControlCommand("Select Table", "", "ListBox1", "SelectString", 'Window - ' & $variable)
        ControlClick("Beta", "", "Button12")
        Case (ControlGetText("Beta", "", "Static93") = "")
        ControlClick("Beta", "", "Button13")
        WinActivate("Select Table", "")
        ControlCommand("Select Table", "", "ListBox1", "SelectString", 'Window - ' & $variable)
        ControlClick("Beta", "", "Button14")
        Case (ControlGetText("Beta", "", "Static107") = "")
        ControlClick("Beta", "", "Button15")
        WinActivate("Select Table", "")
        ControlCommand("Select Table", "", "ListBox1", "SelectString", 'Window - ' & $variable)
        ControlClick("Beta", "", "Button16")
        Case (ControlGetText("Beta", "", "Static121") = "")
        ControlClick("Beta", "", "Button17")
        WinActivate("Select Table", "")
        ControlCommand("Select Table", "", "ListBox1", "SelectString", 'Window - ' & $variable)
        ControlClick("Beta", "", "Button18")
    EndSelect
EndFunc

Thanks
