Hello, Im using the sendkeys function to send keys to another program, it works ok when I use letters, but if i use a symbol it wont work, heres an example of what i meen.

VB Code:
  1. SendKeys "Send keys function" 'this would work ok

  2.  
  3. SendKeys ":)" ' this wouldnt work

Does anyone know why this is? and is there a way around it
