    You're checking the property value of VisibleOnScreen, of the object Main, which probably doesn't exist yet. You want to check if the Object exists first. Also, ensure the name mapping defined for the object is correct too. If Main fails to find, then try it's parent object, Ribbon.

     

    See Waiting for an Object, Process or Window Activation.

    Thank you much! - It seems that I can use "Aliases.draft.wndAfx.Ribbon.WaitVCLNETObject". Is this correct? - It does not work with Main. The test runs to completion waiting for the Ribbon but I get a warning The "Ribbon" object was replaced with a similar object. I do not know how to fix it. Name mapping image is attached.

    TiA for your help! - Astrid
