Thanks bigred... that made it work!

Thanks for the additional help. Gives me more to work with when I get home.

I guess all I can do is cross my fingers and try it when I get home. Thanks to both of you. (of course I'll be back for additional help later if it still doesn't work )

You know, that's not a bad idea. Not really sure why setting the focus isn't necessary in Win98 but if it makes it work in XP Pro I really don't care. One thing that stopped me from trying that already was that I didn't think this button was the type that could receive the focus. It just didn't 'seem' like it would and besides, the code worked in Win98. Are most buttons capable of accepting the focus?

Hello all, just found AutoitX3 and this forum yesterday. So far everything has worked great with one exception. Using ControlClick to click a button on an external application works very well on a Win98se machine but doesn't do anything on a WinXP Pro machine. As an alternative I used MouseClick which works fine on both machines. This is not a good permanent solution for me because the application will be minimised to the tray most of the time which will prevent it fom being clicked by the mouse. This is the line that only works on the Win98 machine: iResponse = AIX.ControlClick("Swift Elite", "", "SwiftButton14") This is the line that works fine on both machines: iResonse = AIX.MouseClick("left", 873, 600) I searched the forum and couldn't find anything helpful. Has this come up for anyone else? Any suggestions?
