    simple send keys question

    Can you use sendkeys to send the tab, ctrl, alt, buttons? Or do you have to use a different command?

    Ive never tried doing Ctrl+Alt+Delete, but if its not working then i think you gotta go onto more complicated measures.. I think sending any more then 2 keys at the same time requires some API

    There are just certain key combinations (and certain keys) that can't be "sent".
    The most difficult part of developing a program is understanding the problem.
    The second most difficult part is deciding how you're going to solve the problem.
    Actually writing the program (translating your solution into some computer language) is the easiest part.
    Please indent your code and use [HIGHLIGHT="VB"] [/HIGHLIGHT] tags around it to make it easier to read.
