Hi all-
Cannot get script to run with hotkey enabled. How do you make a hotkey
available at all times while a script is running?

My code below. At anytime I want the user to be able to hit the F12, input a message and have it displayed in the text box of the GUI.

F12::Goto, DailyMessage

Try putting the Hotkey at the bottom of the script.

Currently the script is running up to the return after the hotkey and then not running any more.

Pop the hotkey at the end then the Gui will run

... and please use code tags around you code, it makes it much easier to read.
