Eric L. Lundstro #2 / 4	Hot to control another apps form? If the control in the other program has a keystroke associated with it, you may be able to use a Windows API call to send that key value to the program. If the control has a caption with an underlined character, you can use the keyboard to activate it.

ADP #4 / 4	Hot to control another apps form? SendMessage(), most likely. Please refer to an API book such as one by Daniel Appleman for a better idea of how to accomplish this type of inter-app communication.
