appactivate sendkeys not working with accelerator
Tom, Keepitcool,
Did you run this sub from a UserForm via an accelerator key connected to a
command button?
That is the situation I was talking about.
Managed to improve it by putting in 3 DoEvents like this:
Sub Test()
Dim ID As String
ID = ActiveCell.value
DoEvents
AppActivate "Calculator", True
DoEvents
SendKeys ID, True
DoEvents
End Sub
Even then it doesn't always work.
Would there be any alternative to using SendKeys?

Sub Test()
Dim ID As String
ID = "123{+}456="
AppActivate "Calculator", True 'tried False as well
SendKeys ID, True
End Sub
worked fine for me with the calculator.

Using Excel 2002.
Have a simple sub that picks up a value from the active sheet, activates
another application and sends the value to the application. This sub
runs
through a command button on a userform.
When I click the command button all works fine.
The command button has an accelerator key in this "z".
When I do Alt + z the application gets activated but the values don't
get
send.
The simplified sub goes like this. The application is not actually
Calculator, but this sub shows the same behaviour.
Sub Test()
Dim ID As String
ID = ActiveCell.value
AppActivate "Calculator", True 'tried False as well
SendKeys ID, True
End Sub
When I put MsgBox ID before the line AppActivate it works again with the
accelerator key strokes.
It seems this problem has to do with focus, but I can't see the
solution.
Thanks for any advice.
