I Don't Know how to Put this.. but is there a way for a visual basic program to run commands on app or programs open outside of it. For example, i can open a prog thorugh VB (ex: shell = ("C:\File.exe") but is the any way to code in commands to this prog too once it is open. Thats why I entitled this post "I Don't Know how to Put this.." cause i really don't. Any example of how to do this will help immensly. Thanks.

What you need to check out is AutoIT. This will do axactly what you asked and is easy to script. You may not need to use VB at all.

If you do still need VB for your main app then script your interaction with the second app, compile it to *.exe, then call this exe from VB.
