Dear LV Champions, I am writing a program to run an exe file of an application and afterwards press the 'ON' key through Visual Basic Script. I can successfully run the exe file and if I use following code below (Save as vbs file and run it), i can press start key of the application. But the requirement is to run it automatically. After launching application, visual basic script code should run and press the 'ON' key. VBScript code: set shell = createobject("wscript.shell")wscript.sleep 200success = shell.appactivate("SwitchBox-USB")if success then shell.sendkeys "{tab}"wscript.sleep 400shell.sendkeys "{enter}" Screenshot of application: Thanks in advance for valuable suggestions. Khan.

Hi Khan, i have attached a short example project (saved for LV 8.6), which loads a modified version of your vbs script, with an included Echo for test purposes. The project loads the script from from a relative path, so you can execute this directly. If a popup from the Windows Script Host with the text "Like this?" shows up, the vbs script is called correctly. If your button press is not executed as you wish, you have to rework your vbs sript. Cheers
