I'm trying to control an object instantiated from Excel with VBA and
sendkeys to it. But cannot get it to work.

All that happens when I step through it in the VB Editor is that the
sendkeys data are sent to the VBEditor window.

I can fire up a window cmd.exe and activate it with AppActivate but
nothign else goes to it. Anyone help on this one??

Sendkeys will always send to the active window. When you are in the VBE,
that is the active window, that is where they go. Nothing you can do about
that.

Show the code and tell us what is required and what you get.
