Run time error after Run Application

I've written a small app that writes a single line of data to a text file.  I have create a job which:

1. runs the app
2. then copies the text from the file
3. and appends it to a second text file.

The first step in this job is 'Run Application'.  This works fine.  However, I don't want the job to roll on to the text file work until this step has completed.  So in the Run Application form I selected for 'After Application Launch' to 'Wait for Application to Complete'.

It does that but the job flags the next step (open the text file) with an error:
"Runtime error: Object reference not set to an instance of an object"

Does anyone know what this means and how I can fix it?

Thanks

Re: Run time error after Run Application

 Hello Tony,

This is a known issue that was reproduced in our labs and has already been fixed internally. The stable release of WinAutomation v3.1 will not have the specific bug. If anyone else is having the same issue, you can easily solve it (for the time being), by saving the job, closing the "Job Designer" window, and reopening the job.
