Attach to an already existing instance of Notepad.

[Stephen]

Hi All, I know this is a simple task, however I cannot seem to make it work. I am creating an Application Model that connects to Notepad, but I want this to connect to an already running instance of notepad. In the "Application Wizard' I have selected the "My application will already be running - I want to attach to an existing instance" option and my settings for the following dialog boxes are as follows. Each line represents a variation I have tried. Enter the window title.... 1. Untitiled* 2. *Notepad 3. Untitled - Notepad Enter the Window Process.... 1. notepad.exe 2. Notepad If not found... Blank Enter Command line.... Blank Restrict to non invasive Tried both checked and unchecked The end goal is to connect BP to an already running instance of Citrix and execute some automation within that window. However, if I cannot even connect to an already running instance of Notepad, I dont see how I can make that happen.

Try to give Window title - Untitled* Process Name - notepad(Without .Exe) This will work 100%.
