Program Automation in Windows using VB.NET 2008

I am trying to automate a program using Visual BAsic.NET. The idea is to invoke my "Program" at the click of a button, pass inputs to the program and save the results it would generate.

For now I can invoke my program using VisualBasic.NET(comands: shell, appactivate), I can pass in data to the program( My.Computer.Keyboard.SendKeys("a")),( just that it is broken).

the main problem is that the data to be input goes into a form with multiple tabs and I am not able to figure out the best way to select the correct tab so that I can throw my data in there and get to the results

Can some one please help me with this.

Also is this program has a dll( obviously I am new to windows application programming), is there any way i can directly pass data to the dll and get results? Thanks!

I think you need to look up reflection. A good starting point for me was
