Hi,

Anyone has any idea where i can get the build status information of a particular step that has the "Ignore Fail" checkbox checked?

Thanks.

The LASTSTEP_STATUS temporary macro. See the "System Macros" help entry for details.

That gives you the previously build step. To retrieve the status of a specific step, use

Project.Steps(vbldStepMain)(<0-based index>).BuildStatus

if you know its position. If you know its name (make sure it's unique for that step collection), use

Project.FindStep("step name", vbldStepMain)

to determine its index. When calling script expressions from a step property, remember to surround it in [brackets] to tell VBP that it's script.
