automating forms in access with Uipath

Question

I have built a access form that runs several queries. I have to invoke these queries through a button press (1 and 2). Either button will run one query for a dynamic period of time. When the query finishes, a popup window will appear and then I click okay to repeat the process on the second button.

I haven’t run this yet as its a proof of concept on a small “live database”.

my steps are as follows,

• click radio button

• use On Element Appear to wait for pop up window

• click the OK button

• click second radio button

• use On Element Appear to wait for pop up window

• click the OK button

my question is, will my nesting work as it is now? having the “click” radio button(s) outside of the On Element Appear activities?

 

Answer 1

 Try using the On Element Appear activity, which will act as a container,

 You can also try the Find Element activity, as you already stated that the Popup Window will appear as soon as your query finishes.

 Depending on the time required for the query to complete you may or may not need to increase the TimeoutMS property

I suggest you to start with the Desktop Recorder, and then change selectors and properties accordingly if required.
