variable sendkeys?

How do you sendkeys with variables? , ie

sendkeys "%(e+a)MyVariableString{Enter}{Tab}"
The variable is actually a, txtFile.text

I've tried quite a few different ways, and decided 2 hours later, to post this question.

Not sure exactly, would give it a try like:

VB Code:

SendKeys Str(Text1.text) & "{Enter}{Tab}"
 
'or
 
SendKeys VariableNameHere & "{Enter}{Tab}"

Don't quote me. Haven't tried it, that's off the top of my head.
