Send command to an application

[IlseH]

Is it possible to send the F5-command to the application I opened from within my Progress application?
My Progress application opens Crystal reports. Everytime the user reopens the application by pressing a button in my Progress application, the report data should be refreshed.

It's really urgent so please let me know. My deadline is coming...

Thanks in advance.

Hi,
This depends how you ran Crystal from Progress in the first place.
Are you using COM objects, active-X ... are you using the Crystal Reports Viewer active-X ?
I have experience with all these methods, so perhaps I can help.
Cheers,
Paul.

I run Crystal Reports using Windows API functions and I found the solution to my problem already, but thanks anyway.
