I am trying to automate the execution of this external function as much as possible and want to programmatically press the Enter key to trigger the Yes button and conclude the process.

Hi Mark,

Are you using the MESSAGEBOX() function, or a dialog of your own design? I really don't think that you can automate this from within VFP if you're using MESSAGEBOX() since the dialog is modal to the application. However, if you're not using MESSAGEBOX(), all you have to do is use the KEYBOARD command, to make it look as if the default command button was pressed.
