I am trying to send +, -, x, or / ....to an application using the SendKeys
command.

I am using the following command line
SendKeys Format(Range("r6").Value, 1)

where R6 equals the plus, minus, x or / ....everything works fine except
for the plus sign? How can I send a plus sign to my application?

thanks

Sendkeys left(range("r6").Text,1)

perhaps.

That doesn't get it.

here is the command again... the other one was just making it more difficult

SendKeys Range("r6").Value

If R6 is a plus sign... how do I tell VBA to send a plus sign?

thanks

John,

When I write scripts, I know that the plus sign is one of the "special"
characters that causes problems and requires that it be surrounded by curly
braces, "{+}". I think I'd run a test with an if statement and include the
curly braces in the case where the value of r6 is a plus sign.
