Thank you all for your replies.

Using SendKeys I've been able to accomplish my task. I will definitely look into adding some of the ideas posted here.

I will definitely apply the idea of closing all open windows, as that will definitely be an issue for this process in the future. My only concern is that this does not appear to close open windows in my PERSONAL.XLS project. Should this be an issue? Is there a way to reference a personal project so as to close any open windows?

Thank you.
