The first one loads without a need for username or password, but the second app requires a username & password plus a few mouse clicks to open the camera group.

Referencing the .pdf attachment:

The code on the left with the ✔️ runs correctly 95% of the time; however, depending on the processor load, the section with the mouse clicks is not run in the order intended.

-It seems to fail mostly after a cold start.
-If the script has been run before,it works correctly nearly 100% of the time, launching both apps and then focusing on the second app & performing the correct mouse clicks.. I'm guessing that's due to the apps being read from cache, reducing load time.
-I experimented with .Sleep() & .Threadwait(), but successful results were not consistant.

Given this dilemma, I considered running each camera's actions in its own Thread() &/or Process as a solution. This was an educated guess, but I wanted a way to stop the app loadings from interfering with the other apps scripting.

At right (?) is my first attempt at threading. It runs; however, the results are disappointly the same as above. I guess threading is not the solution needed.

Any suggestions? ]]>
