Automating folder selection

Yet another question to the brains out there...

I need to automate the selection of a folder in my application. The way it works is my app is an add-in to another app (Ascent Capture) and my app sends images to Ascent but Ascent automatically browses to the path in which it is installed. My app's images are located in c:\temp. My users are complaining about having to browse to C:\temp continually - is there any way (e.g. an api or something else) that I can cause ascent to automatically browse to c:\temp??

Thanks all

Hi,

How about using the SendKeys statement to simulate the user's selecting the temp folder when you load "Ascent Capture"?

Have a good one!

Did use Sendkeys "%SS" to cause ascent to start a software import - this starts a "Browse to folder" wondow - but this just opens to Ascent's program directory. Any ideas on how to go from there?
