Bob,

I was playing with this didn't get and real satisfactory results.

with this.command3
   mouse click at .Top + .Height/2, .Left + .Width/2 pixels window (wontop())
endwith

I also tried using:

this.command1.SetFocus()
keyboard " "

but the problem is neither a MOUSE click or the keypress take long enough to execute for the screen to reliably update and show the pressed state of the button.
