I have created a PAD flow to take an Excel file and upload it to Screencloud to display on a TV monitor. The file changes every day. The process is:

1. open PowerPoint and load a file tied to the Excel graph and data.

2. save it as a .Png file

3. close power point

4. Then go to the web and find the "Screencloud" web site

5. log in

6. upload the file

7. Save it to the screen to display on a TV

I can run the flow 2-4 times with no errors, but then it it will start to get errors. The UI cannot "click" a button, or the "move mouse to image" doesnt move. It is not always the same action, but once an error appears it continues until I delete that step and recreate it.. it can be either PowerPoint or the website

When the error occurs, then try to recapture the UI, to see if it has changed (compare it to the old one)
If it's "dynamic" you have to find a way to recognize the UI every time it changes

Images and data are the same and match, still do not work consistently.

If the windows and UI elements always open in the same position, you could try moving the mouse to a specific coordinate on your screen and sending a mouse click instead?
