George,

Thanks for the help. I think I just need to bring the WinFax window to the front. The Winfax 'send fax' screen automatically opens when I run my report form command to generate the report. The problem is that it doesn't automatically come to the top. Before I was able to simply get that window to the top when I needed to using the SetWindowFocus method of the sendkeys utility. Something on the client's computer however is keeping the window from coming to the top now.


So I'm not 100% sure that a SetWindowFocus call will solve my problem because I figure the sendkeys.dll is probably using the same method. But I really don't have an easier solution at this point.

Greg

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.

>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).
