Thanks! That worked!

I' writting a script which involves login into to Peachtree accounting. When I open Peachtree, it automatically starts the login window with the user name of the last person to login in, and is focused on the password. How do I tell it to switch focus to the user name?

I can get the script to open Peachtree and export the report, but afterward it will not setfocus on any window or close any window. I've tired Alt+F4, CloseWindow, SetFocus+C...
