Pressing Button causes Run command to repeat

[jtsteffen]

Hello

I am attempting to write a script that will open a Word file when I press on the "Edit" button in my GUI. I can get it to open the file, but it then begins to try opening the file over and over and over again utill my computer runs out of memory. Needless to say it is a pain.

I have just started using AutoIt 3 this weekend and have been able to figure out how to get around on my own fairly well, but I'm a bit short of time and need to fix this as soon as I can. I am assuming that the the $msg is getting stuck to the key button I just pushed which is causing an endless loop. However I'm not sure why this button is doing it and the otherones don't get into this type of loop. Any help would be greatly appreicated.

The problem happens when I check the Case for $EditDoc1, $EditDoc2, or $EditDoc3.

Thanks

Never mind. I found the problem. I had accidentally told the system to compare "$msg = $msg =$EditDoc3". Since $msg and $msg are always going to be equal, it started opening the file as soon as I started the program.

Sorry to waste peoples time looking at this.
