Hi Leith,

Just to clarify, I'm only using Excel to execute API commands to send key strokes to the EndNote program. During the looping, I am receive different error messages based on the OS that the program is running on and particular file that is being updated. One of the computers shows this information:

  Problem Event Name:	APPCRASH
  Application Name:	EndNote.EXE
  Fault Module Name:	EndNote.EXE
  Exception Code:	c0000005
  Exception Offset:	00189d92
  OS Version:	6.1.7601.2.1.0.256.4
At other times/ other OS, I receive a Msgbox stating that the program is terminating in an abnormal manner and it has C++ in the window caption. Another time (but I could not replicate it right now to get the error message), there was a generic error that when I looked it up said that the causes could be anything from a corrupt dll to memory issues to hardware problems.

In all cases, I don't particularly care about the error message, all I want to do is close the program without displaying the message box. I already have a second application that is monitoring the EndNote program and restarting it if it hangs. The dialog boxes though remain and so I have to manually remove them. I'm trying to circumvent this by not showing them in the first place.

Any thoughts?
