Need with with .EXE

I am trying to run a macro .exe from another computer. I have created the shortcut to the desktop of the computer and have assigned Shortcut keys to run. The purpose of this macro is to send key strokes to the current screen to fill in some fields. Can someone please take a look at this code and let me know why when I press the shortcut keys the macro doesn't run properly. Thanks.

macro doesn't run properly

What does is not do? or What does it do that it should not do? What are the symptoms?

May need a SetFocus>WindowName*at the beginning before sending any keystrokes.

Note: For Press commands you can use *n for repeats.
Example:

Press TAB*4

is the same as

Press TAB
Press TAB
Press TAB
Press TAB

It doen't do anything..... I actually have tried the SetFocus> and when I try to run it all it does show the icon in the bottom left corner of the screen, but does not actually send any keystrokes to the current screen.
