THe easiest way may be to use the Wscript.Shell AppActivate mechanism, if bringing the Window to foreground and setting focus to it is your desired effect; this can be used in conjunction with the WSH's SendKeys method to send keystrokes to the targeted Window. See the article George Tasker and I wrote on the Wscript.Shell object for the October issue of the VFUG newsletter;
www.vfug.org, or try any of the WSH sites from my sig block.
