Hi EE,
The title indicates a problem spying the element, in your case the button. If you cannot spy it, the process will not be able to click it, so we'll start there.
Are you able to spy the button?
If no: make sure to use a spy-mode that works for Edge and re-spy until the button can be identified. Then save the object.
If yes: step through your process and step into your object that clicks the button to see why the button is not clicked. The object could throw an exception pointing out where to look further.
Notes on spying:
When spying any element:

Notes on spying:
When spying any element:
- Unclick all elements that have an empty matching value
- Avoid html paths, or at least check that they are not dynamic or point to non-production servers/sites
- Read up on spying habits and best practices

Hi paul thank you for your quick answer
I mistaken the title
I am able to spy the element (Button) but when using schdule with VM the element that i have to click doesn't work
I saw a post (https://community.blueprism.com/communities/community-home/digestviewer/viewthread?GroupId=97&MID=2640&CommunityKey=3b501789-976c-4cfa-b9db-88307c6a0a86&tab=digestviewer&ReturnUrl=%2Fcommunities%2Fcommunity-home%2Fdigestviewer%3FListKey%3D82cdcf8d-bf74-40f4-af5c-7b4be092ec1b) is it possible that it is impossible to execute click on web pages in VM when the VM is'nt conneted to a screen ?
Thank you for your time and energy
