I think your problem is not re-evaluating the object after the key press down.



What happens is that when you evaluate the expression [Aliases.TMDS.frmSingleFormAuthorityCP.gbTNT.btnRepeatTNT.WaitChild("btnRepeatTNT", 1000).Exists ] TC returns a stub object (similar to other wait methods, see for example WaitWindow)with Exists = False

After that, the object never gets refreshed to check if now the object does in fact exist



I would add a line this way:

while not Aliases.TMDS.frmSingleFormAuthorityCP.gbTNT.btnRepeatTNT.WaitChild("btnRepeatTNT", 1000).Exists

        Call Aliases.TMDS.FrmSingleFormAuthorityCP.gbTNT.Keys("[Down]")

        Call Aliases.TMDS.frmSingleFormAuthorityCP.gbTNT.btnRepeatTNT.WaitChild("btnRepeatTNT", 1000)

wend

Call Aliases.TMDS.frmSingleFormAuthorityCP.gbTNT.btnRepeatTNT.ClickButton



Help this helps.
