    Hi,

     

    Observed behavior is correct and expected one.

    When object is not found, the value returned by MyObj() is not an object. Thus it obviously does not contain the .SetText() method.

    Suggested code modification:

    Function PoScreen
    Set sPage=Aliases.browser.MainPage
    'Selects Company
    strEffDteProp=Array("ObjectIdentifier","ObjectType")
    strEffDtePropVal=Array("DisplayEffectiveDate","Textbox")
    Set objEffDte=MyObj (sPage,strEffDteProp,strEffDtePropVal)
    If (objEffDte.Exists) Then
      objEffDte.SetText"11/01/2017"
    Else
      ... ' process appropriately
    End If
    End Function
     
     
    '@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
    Function MyObj(sPage,arrProp,arrVal)
    ' Set obj=sPage.FindChild(arrProp,arrVal,50)
    ' If (obj.Exists) Then
    ' Set MyObj=obj
    ' Else
    ' Log.Message"Obj Not Found"
    ' End If
    
    Set MyObj=sPage.FindChild(arrProp,arrVal,50)
    If (Not MyObj.Exists) Then
      Log.Message"Obj Not Found"
    End If
    End Function
