I cant seem to send CTRL S to notepad on XP

you could try

WinMenuSelectItem("graphreceipt.txt","","&File","&Save")

That is the way forward, thanks very much!!

In the help file it is said that controlsend WILL work for any window except console, however on XP this doesn't appear to be the case, if the notepad window is not active it wont accept the command for Save.

Your way seems to work though

Any ideas, on 2k this works fine

ControlSend("graphreceipt.txt", "", "", "{CTRLDown}" & "S")

but XP is having none of it.

Please help

Also note that you need to use a lowercase "s" in your initial attempt rather than uppercase "S".

Doesn't work needs to be ripped out of the troubleshooting lexicon. It means that what you tried did not produce the results you expected. It begs the questions 1) what did you try?, 2) what did you expect? and 3) what happened instead?
