vbscript sendkeys()

[Tom Glod]

Hi Brian, thanks.....I have tried that, seems to work even less than

but you might be onto something here.... because sometimes "most" of the
text gets written... mostly none.....and other times all of them.  will
keep on testing to see if i can find the cause of this inconsistency.
