Hello all,
I keep running into an issue when scheduling script to run before I arrive in the morning. It seems that the positioning of the window(s) is altered so when the script runs, it errors out. Is there a way to have the script resize/move the window(s) to the same spot every time?
Thanks in advance for any help.

Ok, this makes sense. How do I handle a changing title for the window I'm trying to move or maximize?

That really depends on the nature of the change.
The question to ask is "How does the title change?"
Sometimes a simple wildcard will suffice. You'll see examples of the in the help files I linked to.
Let's say you have an Excel file open, all of the commands below would identify and move the "ThisFile.xlsx - Excel" window.
Wildcards are a good place to start.

Code: Select all
MoveWindow>ThisFile.xlsx - Excel,100,100
wait>1
MoveWindow>ThisFile*,200,200
wait>1
MoveWindow>- Excel*,300,300
wait>1

Thank you for the quick responses! The file name changes based on date. With the use of the suggested wildcards, I was able to make it work. Thanks again!!
