Hi,
Please give us more info on what you are doing, like the code. For one thing, you don't need to call an API to click an OK button. You should just build in an error trap, an error handler to deal with the error, and that can all be done in Excel. -- Thanks, Shane Devenshire "Johan" wrote: i am new to programming.

Something like this is my code:
Dim Shell Set Shell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell") Shell.Run "c:\battest\vbimport", 1 SendKeys "{enter}" The file vbimport gives an error, and I want to send the key Enter to the message box.

Try
SendKeys "~", True instead of SendKeys "{enter}" -- Always provide your feedback so that others know whether the solution worked or problem still persists ...

What type of file is vbimport? Does it have a file extension (you may not
see the file extension if Windows Explorer is set to hide extensions of known file types but the extension may be important here)? Is vbimport a batch file or a vbScript file or something else?

I started with the following example given in Help
============= Sub test1() Dim ReturnValue, I ReturnValue = Shell("notepad.EXE", 1) AppActivate ReturnValue For I = 1 To 60 SendKeys I, True Next I SendKeys "~", True For I = 1 To 30 SendKeys I, True Next I SendKeys "%{F4}", True SendKeys "~", True End Sub ============= Suggest you test with Notepad and play around -- Always provide your feedback so that others know whether the solution worked or problem still persists ...

Thank you, but I can not work this out.
When I run your program it does not send anything to notepad.

Thank you, I did copy the sub to a Module and not ThisWorkbook
Next question, if tou can help me on this, how du I start the other program from a shortcut. I need that because the shortcut makes an automaticaly import to the program. It is not possible to do this by strating the "program" (.exe file). Sheeloo skrev: Working for me... I have Excel 2003 and put the code in the module for my workbook...

Go to the shortcut, right-click and choose properties.
Copy the text in the Target box.
