Hello,

we have a script that copy and then paste a text into a 'open dialog box'. It works on every pc but not on 4 pc's. It opens the dialog box, but it paste nothing into it.

kind regards

Roland

This code only does a CTRL-V (paste). It does not do a copy.

You may need a delay and/or WaitClipBoard between the copy and the paste. You may also need a delay after setting focus. You may need a way to determine that the target app is ready.

Would help us to see the copy AND paste code.

Sorry, just seen the PutClipBoard line at the top of your script!

Try adding the following after the PutClipboard line:

WaitClipBoard
Wait>0.5

Also try adding a wait after the SetFocus line.
