What is there about it that doesn't work ?

The following shows a traceback for the error that there is no component 
named "Software_Classificationfield" - which is what I'd expect, because 
all 3 variants of defining that component are commented out.

If one of those were put back in (I think any of them), then you'd also 
want to change the source line that says

 result.Software_Classification = dlg.components.Software_Classificationfield.text
to
 result.Software_Classification = dlg.components.Software_Classificationfield.stringSelection

and I think it might then work.

I created a quick dialog that (I think) was equivalent (using the first variant from the comment block), and that one-line change made it work - so give it a try, and if that doesn't do it for you, let me know.

If it's still not working, you can send me the code/rsrc directly and then I'll be sure I'm fixing the right problem :-)
