Hi George,

I hope you are still out there. I need you. I am using the scripting host to sendkeys to my cad cam app. The cad cam app responds to everyone of the sendkeys. One of the senkeys causes a model dialog to open. That is what I want. However, once the model dialog is open the sendkeys stop working. What am I missing and how do I communicate with the modal dialog with in the cad cam app.

>>If you double click on a file called c:\cadcam\my CadFile.cad, the file opens in the correct editor. I guess the install program made the proper associations for the cad files. How can I utilize WScript to simulate a double click on c:\cadcam\my CadFile.cad so it will open in the proper editor. Then I could use VFP to activate the editor and display the file.
