Simple Task: Open QB Database Manger and Run a Scan

[UserDC]

Hello,

I am trying to do something very simple. I want to open QuickBooks Database Manager and click Start Scan. Alternatively, TAB then ENTER. But I cannot seem to get this to work. I have two scripts.

The first one here, is supposed to check if it's open, if not open it and run the above commands. Well, it runs them all at the same time:

#include <MsgBoxConstants.au3>

Main()

; Main Function
Func Main()
    ; Run DB Manager
    ShellExecute ("C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Intuit\QuickBooks\QBServerUtilityMgr.exe")
    AutoItSetOption("WinTitleMatchMode",2)
    Scan()
EndFunc

Func Scan()
    ; send the tab key to move to [Start Scan] button
    Send("{TAB}")
    ; send the enter key to start the scan
    Send("{ENTER}")
EndFunc

So it hits TAB and ENTER at the same time it runs the Database Manager. I added WinWait ('QuickBooks Database Server Manager') but then it does nothing afterwards.

The second one I have, does wait until it's open, but doesn't insert the keys:

AutoItSetOption("WinTitleMatchMode",2)

ShellExecute ("C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Intuit\QuickBooks\QBServerUtilityMgr.exe")
AutoItSetOption("WinTitleMatchMode",2)
WinWait ('QuickBooks Database Server Manager')

    ; send the tab key to move to [Start Scan] button
     Send("{TAB}")
    ; send the enter key to start the scan
     Send("{ENTER}")

It doesn't do them at the same time with the second one, but it doesn't input it into the QB window. It successfully launches no issue.

I really don't care how I have to do it, but nothing seems to work for such a simple task and I am thinking it's because this is my first time coding with AutoIT.  Any help would be appreciated.

I saw a good answer in another forum post: 

 

However another warning dialog box pops up:

I used the script referenced in the post, above, to open the QuickBooks Database Server Manager and then press Start Scan. Then a Warning pop-up window appears each time, "Folders containing QuickBooks files will be shared with all users on your network. If you have sensitive information in these folders, we recommend you move them to another location before your run the scan. Are you sure you want to continue?" 

Here is the summary of the AutoIt Window Info (32bit):

Folders containing QuickBooks files will be shared with all users on your network. If you have sensitive information in these folders, we recommend you move them to another location before you run the scan. Are you sure you want to continue?

What code would I add to the script above and where would I place that code in order to press the OK button in the Warning dialog box? 

Thanks in advance.

UserDC,

 

Did you ever perfect the QB database manager script?
