Save a transaction w/o closing window

[Ebo]

I am currently writing a hotkey-activated background tool which emulates additional features in Peachtree, mostly by reading via DDE and performing actions by emulating keystrokes.

I somehow need to save an invoice that is currently being edited (so I can access it via DDE) without closing the window. Is there any way for an external program to do this?

Some programming languages allow you to send keystrokes to other programs. For instance, Visual Basic has a SendKeys function. I've never had consistent results trying this, though. You're probably in for tough sledding on this one. Seems to me you'd do better to handle the whole transaction outside of Peachtree, then use DDE to poke the completed transaction in.

Good luck!
