WinMenuSelectItem

[Doug 0]

I've written a script that uses the WinMenuSelectItem command, but it fails at intermittent points. That is, the script just sits there when it should be executing the command. If I perform the menu item selection manually while it's just sitting there, it will take notice and resume the script. The key here is that it doesn't always fail. I can run the script a dozen times and it might work flawlessly 10 times. Is there some way I can make the WinMenuSelectItem more reliable?

I could replace this command with a combination of ALT keystrokes that do the same thing, except that I need to select a specific option on a drop-down menu and don't see any other way to do it. I suppose I could send tabs and arrows to navigate the drop down menu, but making sure I find the correct menu option is a bear.

Thanks in advance for any help.
