$Input1 = GUICtrlCreateInput (problem)

[Pook]

Okay I'm still new at this.

I have two splash screens. The first screen gets the Hostname by using the command ' $Input1 = GUICtrlCreateInput("", 64, 176, 257, 22) ' however, I can't get the $Input var. to work later in the script on the second screen when I'm trying to ping $input1. Any ideas of what I'm doing wrong??

$Input1 is the Control ID of the input control you created. It does not contain the data from the control. To get that:

While 1
   $msg = GUIGetMsg()
           If $msg = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE Then
               Exit
           Endif
           If $msg = $button1 Then
               $InputData = GuiCtrlRead($Input1)
               ExitLoop
           Endif
WEnd

Now use $InputData where you need it.
