I'm new to Automise, trying to recreate some of my scripts from another app.

As a test I'm using a enhanced Prompt for Variable to capture some data to be used to fill

out a form in our vertical market app. Instead of the app I'm just using Notepad.&nbsp;

This is what I have so far, I can't get the Variable to past in notepad

What am I missing

Enhanced Prompt for Variables [BillOfLading - ShipperName,BookingNumber,Consignee]

SendKeys [%ShipperName%] to &nbsp;[notepad -\> MainWindow.FindChild("Edit",null)]

Finding process notepad, No. 1  
Could not get process:  
Process not found : notepad

I’m not able to reproduce this here… what version of windows are you running on? 32 or 64bit, via remote desktop? The more information you can provide the better.   
  
 I will say that the gui automation actions in Automise are very basic, and may not work with every application. For serious gui automation I would recommend something like autohotkey.
