IfWindowOpen problems

I'm having a problem with some code and have used the debugger to narrow it down to my IfWindowOpen statement. When I run the debugger on the following code:
Label>BackHere
Wait>1
IfWindowOpen>Adobe*,BackHere
It always loops back to the BackHere label, and I haven't got a Window open containing Adobe.

What am I doing wrong? Is there something special about Adobe which means there's a Window Open I can't see?

To give background, I'm writing a script to run a sequence of Crystal Reports and print them to pdf. They take a variable amount of time to print so I want to use the above code to wait until it's printed before moving on.

Thanks

Edward

This means you DO have a window open containing the text "adobe".

It may be hidden.

Open up the View System Windows tool: Tools/View System Windows. Type "adbobe" (without quotes) into the box and hit Find and it will show you the window on your system with that text in the caption.

You could try telling it to only find visible windows is set WF_TYPE to 2:

Let>WF_TYPE=2
IfWindowOpen>....

Yes, you are (of course) absolutely spot on.

Thanks for such a quick and complete response.
