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.

Tracy,

You don't need PostMessage in the above. I'll play around with it tomorrow.

I've made a modification or two to the code below

*--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
ENDIF

FUNCTION PassWin
 LPARAMETER tcTitle

DECLARE INTEGER FindWindow IN Win32API AS FindWindow STRING, STRING
lnwindow = FindWindow(0,tcTitle)

IF lnwindow > 0
 DECLARE INTEGER SetActiveWindow IN Win32API;
   INTEGER hWnd
   = SetActiveWindow(lnwindow)
   oShell = Createobject("wscript.shell")
   oShell.Sendkeys("~Pawwword~")
   oShell = NULL
   RELEASE oshell
   RETURN .T.
ELSE
   RETURN .F.
ENDIF

BTW, I assume you meant "Password".< bg >
