I played with keyb_event for a while and everytime I used it, all of my keys started producing unexpected results until I reboot. For instance, after this:

ReturnValue = PostMessage(hwnd, WM_KEYDOWN, wParam, 0)
ReturnValue = Keybd_Event(97,0,0,0)
ReturnValue = Keybd_Event(97,0,2,0)

No matter what I sent as the first parameter, whenever I returned after testing it, click and dblclick and pressing ENTER has strange results. If I double-click on any icon, it brings up its properties, etc. Very strange so I am leaving that one alone for awhile.

Anyway, the below is the ONLY thing that works so far and it works well. The only problem is that I am not supposed to use the windows script at all and I need to stick with pure API so I will have to find something else. I will post it though for lurkers since it works so well. Someone else may need it one day.

*--App has already been launched using CREATEPROCESS and now it is in 
*--a loop using GETEXITCODEPROCESS() waiting for it to close but the
*--password box pops up first and a password must be entered without 
*--the user's input at all behind the scenes so the app will run.
*--So far this has always worked the first time
IF lnclosepass < 3 .and. PassWin('Password')
   = Sleep (3000)
   lnclosepass = lnclosepass + 1
