appactivate sendkeys not working with accelerator
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. RBS |
