I would you use Run, if not you could use ShellExecute(). Also have a look at WinWait active if you want to do something after the program has loaded.

I recommend playing with just run before you put it at the bottom of your script to save time.

Lastly, please post code using the autoit code tags

If you have any issues just ask

Run('"C:\Program Files\Adobe\Dreamweaver\Dreamweaver\dreamweaver.exe"') ; you will have to fix up the path. You will need the extra quotes

If I remeber correctly, Dreamweaver write a key in the registry for it's path. Just locate the key (I don't remember it) and use RegRead and Shellexecute.

Ahhh, good ole ScriptWriter!! It seems like yesterday when I didn't know what the world I was doing and thought ScriptWriter was the greatest thing EVER!!! Its was a great learning tool ... for the first week. But reading/searching the Help file and playing around with the example scripts is really the next step.

Badal, look up these commands and compare them to what ScriptWriter did for you. The 4 lines quoted above work perfectly I'm sure. But isn't this a cleaner and easier way to do the same thing?

MouseClick("left", 318,294)
Send("{TAB 13}{ENTER}")

Oh and to your question of Run() verses ControlClick(), they can both be used to "run/launch" something but they aren't really for the same purpose. In your studies, look at the other functions/commands that start with "Control" and you'll come to love that. One huge advantage of the Control*() functions is that what you're scripting can be hidden or in the background!!

Cheers!!
