Welcome to the forum! As a note to both new and current members and as mentioned above, please read the FAQs on the AutoIt Wiki  before posting. This will save you time, as the answers to many common questions are out there. Most importantly for new forum members, please see the section on Why isn't my thread getting any replies? Forum members are here, volunteering their time to help you with your questions, and we will always do our best to assist. Below are just a few of the items we need from you in order to provide the best help, please see the FAQ section for more:

• First, foremost and always, know and follow the forum rules: Every member of this forum is expected to know and adhere to the forum rules. The rules are based on common sense and should not be daunting for anyone to follow. Doing so will ensure you receive assistance and will prevent any necessary sanctions by the Moderation team. We would much rather help you with your scripts than have to attend to the unpleasant business of suspending or banning accounts.
• Add a meaningful title to your thread: "HELP!!" tells no one anything, and will often delay your receiving assistance.
• Include a detailed description of what you are trying to do, what you have tried on your own, and what problem/error you are experiencing: "Doesn't work" or "AutoIt's broke" doesn't cut it. Forum members are also here to help you write and improve your own scripts; this is not a forum where you put in an order and someone writes the code for you.
• Always Post Code: Even if the code is not doing what you want it to, posting the code you are working from rather than asking forum members to guess is always going to result in more rapid assistance. If you cannot post the code for business reasons, create a script that reproduces the issue you are seeing.
