It is broken by Vista.
Here is some code that will get you a replacement SendKeys that
will work under Vista:

Every month I get 50 Adobe .PDF files with 8-15 pages of data. I need to
isolate and print only 1 of the pages. The following code works fine in
Office 2003 under XP, but in Office 2007 under Vista it stops with the
cursor
flashing in the FileName box of the File Open dialog of the Adobe
Reader.
This "freeze" occurs on the 1st pass through the "For each f in ff" , but
the
code continues on to inserting the appropraitely named worksheet (without
the
page image from Adobe) and actually stops with an "Invalid Procedure Call"
on
the "AppActivate app_is" line the second time through (apparently it can't
activate the Adobe reader while it is frozen, awaiting a file name, from
the
1st pass).

As I said this process works fine under XP/Office 2003. Has there been
some
kind of change in the Sendkeys method between Office 2003 and 2007, or
does
it have to do with XP vs Vista? And in either event, how do I get it
running
as we will soon be moving to Vista with Office 2007 and I really don't
want
to start doing this manually.
