Default simulate pressing CTRL and A

hi,

i am now using...


Windows.Application.SendKeys ("^A")
SendKeys ("^A")

its not giving me an error message, but at the same time it is not doing
anything either. im not sure what going on. any ideas? is there a more
dependable method?


thanks in advance,
geebee

Try using "^A" as the argument to the SendKeys method (which is covered in
the help files for SendKeys by the way).

hi,

well this is being done while in an IE window. i used the following to
simulate hitting ENTER key:

Windows.Application.SendKeys "{ENTER}"
SendKeys "{ENTER}"

so i am afraid cells.select will not work within the IE window. is there
a
more specific sendkeys code?

thanks in advance,
geebee

Ctrl+A will select all cells so you should be able to use

hi,

how do you simulate pressing CTRL and A at the same time? would you
use the
SendKeys method? If so I am not sure of the code? If not, any ideas?
