    SendKeys does not work

    I have thios app which tries to write two strings on two textboxes (on another app). I'm using Activate to switch to the other app, and sending the string I want, a TAB and the other string.

    The problem is that this won't work!! Only a few times worked correctly. Any ideas?

    what are you using to wait that second, is it letting the sendkeys process the keys, i meant using the wait parameter of sendkeys.

    SendKeys "string", True

    casey.
