    Wait... you defined your own click action?  Or are you trying to overload TestComplete's click action?  Neither one does the actual click... what's your actual code look like where you are clicking on the menu?  I'm assuming you recorded it so it probably has values in there that are not -1.

      Oh sorry I misunderstood. The clicking code is:

       

      mainForm.StripMainMenu.Click("File|Print") 

      When the code was not working it looked as though the File menu option was being hovered but never clicked.

        STrange why scaling would cause that to fail...  Well, glad you figured it out. :)
