I believe your problem is you issued the SendKeys AFTER the FileOpen.  You need
to issue it BEFORE FileOpen.  It will stuff the codes in the buffer and return
to execute the FileOpen command.  When FileOpen runs and puts up the dialog
box it will get the "{enter}" string you issued via SendKeys.  Be sure that
you're using the "{enter}" mnemonic also.

This should work.  I have done it myself for another similar macro.
