Hi stefanh,

What is the *exact* error that you're seeing?

If you want to post an image of it instead of writing it out, please see this post.

Also:

What version of SecureCRT are you using?

What is the OS upon which you're running SecureCRT?

Yeah I wish I could attach a file, but no "Attach Files" option under "Additional Options". Btw, its 2021, it could be a lot easier to attach screenshots

I'd like you to make a modification to the script so that we can get a better idea as to the error that you're seeing. Please modify the script thusly:

From:

    LogLine("Session Name: {}".format(g_strSessionName))
    if g_strSessionName <> g_strSessionPath:
        LogLine("Session Path: {}".format(g_strSessionPath))

To:

    LogLine("Session Name: {}".format(g_strSessionName))
    crt.Dialog.MessageBox(g_strSessionPath)
    #if g_strSessionName != g_strSessionPath:
    #    LogLine("Session Path: {}".format(g_strSessionPath))

...and run the script again. Once you've run the script after the edit, what text is shared in the MessageBox?

When trying your new code, and reproducing the error, it works for some reason both with the "new" code, and the old.

Not sure what was done differently this time, its been two weeks since I last tried. All i can think of is some sort of path issue.
