>The code below successfully finds the window I want it to and sets focus to it but the keyboard command does not work. The same code worked with an open Notepad instance though. I was able to sent '{CTRL-O}' to notepad which brought up the open dialog box. any ideas?

replace the KEYBOARD statement with the WScript.Shell object's method of SEANDKEYS.

LOCAL oShell	&& as WScript.Shell
oShell = CREATEOBJECT("WScript.Shell")
oShell.SendKeys("C:\MyPath\MyFile.ext")

check the web site for key stroke used with this method at

This works for all windows modal dialog boxes.
