Hey everyone. I am getting an annoying duplicate variable error when there is not a duplicate variable. Can anyone help me out with this?

Code:
SetTimer, CBN, 50
MsgBox, 4131, New Request, Which request would you like to fill out?
CBN:
IfWinNotExist, New Request
   Return
ControlSetText, Button1, &VOICE
ControlSetText, Button2, &PLS
 IfMsgBox, Yes ; VOICE
   REQUEST = VOICE
 IfMsgBox, No ; PLS
   REQUEST = PLS

The issue seems to be isolated to the timer up top to change the button names. When I take that part out, it works perfect. What's going on here? I have tried to change my variable name (CNAME) to something else, but this does not do it. I have also tried to change the "ControlSetText" line to change buttons "Yes" and "No" instead of "Button1(2)." I am so frustrated with troubleshooting it, I had to post it all up. Sorry for the length, and thank you for any replies.

You are falling into the same "trying to re-create the Gui every time" problem that many users have had...

You need to build the Gui once, then show/hide & use GuiControl to change things about it...

Move all the Gui, Add's above the CBN label & try to make it work that way...this is a common error/mistake, I need to find or create a concrete example of it & how to get past it...

Firstly, thank you for your reply. I'm not sure I understand why this is happening. Aren't I just building the gui once the way it was?

Thank you.

...no, the CBN timer was hitting all the Gui, Add's before...

Wait...the CBN timer is only to change the msgbox?...change that to "SetTimer, CBN, -50"...negative means to run only once...currently it's constantly changing the msgbox's button names to what they already are...

That worked great! Both methods worked great. I don't really have much experience with the Timers, I just copied and pasted the example that was in the documentation. I'm still confused about how a timer works for this, but hey... it works. Thanks guys!
