Error trying to use Global Send Keys to Select from a drop down menu

Hi All, I'm just wondering if anyone has come across the following when trying to select an item from a Drop down menu within SharePoint..... strangely this works elsewhere but doesn't here.... the error I'm getting is: Failed to perform step 1 in Navigate Stage 'Select Ticket Type (AA)' on page 'Create New Task' - Exception during remote setforegroundwindow - System.ComponentModel.Win32Exception: The system cannot find the file specified at System.Diagnostics.Process.StartWithCreateProcess(ProcessStartInfo startInfo) at System.Diagnostics.Process.Start() at BluePrism.ApplicationManager.clsLocalTargetApp.ForceForeground(IntPtr hwnd) Any ideas? Cheers Tom

Not an error I have seen before. My thoughts are: ** The ""ForceForeground"" error is a strange one - you are not using RDP or anything are you? ** I suggest using Get Items to get a collection of all items in the drop down and then evaluating that collection to find the one you want to select using InStr - then select it using the read text. I have had issues before selecting drop down items where the text I wanted to select was actually different to how it looked (i.e. there may be spaces after the text you do not know about). ** If all else fails, move onto Surface Automation techniques for selecting the item. Combo boxes can be problematic sometimes.

Thanks Denis.... Yeah we are logging in via Remote Pc, however Blue Prism is installed on that PC and the Process is held on that PC also.... I didn't think that this would be an issue since it is all held on the PC but I am running it using a Remote Connection?
