Does anyone know how to retreive the Text within a Microsoft Error dialog? For example, the text might say "Run-time error '440': Automation Error"
When I use the GetWindowText, it retrieves the dialog caption("Microsoft Visual Basic") and the caption of the command buttons ("Continue" "End" "Debug" and "Help")
Any help will be appreciated,
Adam

When this error dialog is open, use View System Windows to see if the text is stored in an object you might be able to read.
There is usually a way to get at any object in the View System Windows results.
