Runapp with Sendkeys

[Tony Adler]

I'm trying to use the Runapp action in a macro and then send keystroke
commands to the other app. The help for the Runapp action says that I should
be able to do this, but when I put a Sendkeys action after the Runapp action,
the keystrokes are sent in Access and not the other app that I just opened.
What am I doing wrong?

is the other app a microsoft program? sometimes if it is not a microsoft
program, then it won't be compatible.

No, it's not. It's a Window program called Starship from a company called V
Technologies. It's a shipping manifest program. It has an import feature. I
create the text file for import in Access. I'm trying to automate things more
by opening the app and the running the import.
