	Hi, I can't seem to use the SetFocus command to set the focus to the DOS window that is running my kix script. Return code is 1407 I believe, so it's clearly not working. Is it actually possible to do this? Thanks

	What does your setfocus line look like? What is the name of console window? You can title your window with something specific by using start "My Console Window" %comspec%

	What Allen said. You will get a 1407 error if SetFocus() cannot find a window matching your "Title" string.

	It's only a little test script at the moment just to see if the theory was possible, the script is just: Break on While 1 ? "Repeating lines of text" $x = SetFocus ("C:\Scripting\KIX32") ? $x Loop Exit the script is stored on my c: drive in a folder called "scripting" thanks

	Please see the manual or the following page... http://www.scriptlogic.com/Kixtart/htmlhelp/Functions/setfocus.htm Its the title of the window you need to give it, not the executable.

	Without trying to be too pedantic a) i couldn't have known about the command without having read the manual and b) i quote "If there is no exact match, any application whose title string begins with 'title' is activated." My window title appeared to be "c:\scripting\kix32.exe testkix.kix" hence why i searched for just the first half or so of the title string. Still i understand what you're saying and will give the 'start' command a go.
