> I have a fax automation application that uses FoxPro to drive WinFax. Everything was working perfectly fine for well over 2 years. A few days ago it started messing up. I've tracked down the problem to a call to SetWindowFocus in my Sendkeys.dll that I'm using to send keystrokes to the fax software. I've tried calling this method many times and the window never comes up on top like it did before.

Greg,

Couple of things come to mind. You could call the ShowWindow() API call. However, if the Windows Script Host is an option, you could use that to start the application, activate the app and send the keys (without the dll).

Let me know which one is of interest.
