You may need to focus the field by clicking into 'inp_password' first, with a small pause (maybe 0,5s) before sending the keys.<BR /><BR />------------------------------<BR />John Carter<BR />Professional Services<BR />Blue Prism<BR />------------------------------<BR /> Fri, 18 Feb 2022 09:50:00 GMT https://community.blueprism.com/t5/Product-Forum/how-to-input-text-after-surface-automation-being-connected-to-VM/m-p/47872#M3514 John__Carter 2022-02-18T09:50:00Z https://community.blueprism.com/t5/Product-Forum/how-to-input-text-after-surface-automation-being-connected-to-VM/m-p/47873#M3515 Hi!<BR /><BR />Just one suggestion... if you want to connect to the SQL Server to execute query o maintenance plans, you can do it with the Business Object "Data - Sql Server". I think is faster than spy the entry application.<BR /><BR /><BR /><BR />Bye <span class="lia-unicode-emoji" title=":slightly_smiling_face:">🙂</span><BR /><BR />------------------------------<BR />Pablo Sarabia<BR />Architect<BR />Altamira Assets Management<BR />Madrid<BR />634726270<BR />------------------------------<BR /> Fri, 18 Feb 2022 10:12:00 GMT https://community.blueprism.com/t5/Product-Forum/how-to-input-text-after-surface-automation-being-connected-to-VM/m-p/47873#M3515 PabloSarabia 2022-02-18T10:12:00Z https://community.blueprism.com/t5/Product-Forum/how-to-input-text-after-surface-automation-being-connected-to-VM/m-p/47874#M3516 Dear John<BR /><BR />Thank you, it worked !<BR /><BR />Regards<BR /><BR />------------------------------<BR />HongJoo Choi<BR />------------------------------<BR /> Fri, 18 Feb 2022 10:16:00 GMT https://community.blueprism.com/t5/Product-Forum/how-to-input-text-after-surface-automation-being-connected-to-VM/m-p/47874#M3516 HongJooChoi 2022-02-18T10:16:00Z https://community.blueprism.com/t5/Product-Forum/how-to-input-text-after-surface-automation-being-connected-to-VM/m-p/47875#M3517 Dear Pablo<BR /><BR />Thank you much for the reply.<BR />I wanted to test how far surface automation will work for applications running on the VM.<BR /><BR /><BR />Best regards<BR /><BR /><BR /><BR />------------------------------<BR />HongJoo Choi<BR />------------------------------<BR /> Fri, 18 Feb 2022 10:20:00 GMT https://community.blueprism.com/t5/Product-Forum/how-to-input-text-after-surface-automation-being-connected-to-VM/m-p/47875#M3517 HongJooChoi 2022-02-18T10:20:00Z
