If you copy and paste the above, you will get the same error as me.
at some point in this stage, if the user makes an error, it will send the script back to Goto>Start. It will load the dialog the first time through; however, it isn't loading it the second time once an error has occurred.

Is there a way to make the dialog reset so that it will re-open in the event it is sent to it?


I get a Macro Scheduler Error message: Error trying to create Dialog. This error only occurs the second time through.

Found it! If you want to display your dialog box again, make sure that the dialog is created prior to your Label>Start.

For Example:


Dialog>Setup
Caption=Setup
Width=491
Height=464
Top=CENTER
Left=CENTER
Max=0
Min=0
Close=0
Resize=0
ComboBox=com1,64,112,97,Item1%CRLF%Item2%CRLF%Item3
ComboBox=com2,64,136,97,Item1%CRLF%Item2%CRLF%Item3
ComboBox=com3,64,160,97,Item1%CRLF%Item2%CRLF%Item3
ComboBox=com4,64,184,97,Item1%CRLF%Item2%CRLF%Item3
ComboBox=com5,64,208,97,Item1%CRLF%Item2%CRLF%Item3
ComboBox=com6,64,232,97,Item1%CRLF%Item2%CRLF%Item3
ComboBox=com7,64,256,97,Item1%CRLF%Item2%CRLF%Item3%CRLF%Item4
ComboBox=com8,64,280,97,Item1%CRLF%Item2%CRLF%Item3%CRLF%Item4
ComboBox=com9,64,304,97,Item1%CRLF%Item2%CRLF%Item3%CRLF%Item4

ComboBox=com000,64,376,97,Item1%CRLF%Item2%CRLF%Item3%CRLF%Item6%CRLF%Item8

The error came because it kept trying to recreate the Dialog instead of merely show it.

Dialogs, as with anything in life, can only be created once. Once something is created you can SHOW it many times, but try to create it again, when it already exists and you have not just a philosophical conundrum but will also upset the computer.
