The application SendKeys
Hi everybody, My question is about using the application SendKeys with IF inside VBA, I have a table contains twenty rows and five columns (File Attached), what I want is that when any of the twenty cells in column "C" is not blank, Then: By using the application SendKeys, the current date should be inserted in the opposite cell in column "D". I have created a code for that purpose, but it did not work properly, so I wish I could find the answer in this wonderful site. And this is the code I have created: PRIVATE SUB WORKSHEET_CHANGE(BYVAL TARGET AS RANGE) IF RANGE("C" & TARGET.ROW).VALUE < "" THEN RANGE("D" & TARGET.ROW).VALUE = APPLICATION.SENDKEYS("^;") EXIT SUB END IF END SUB +-------------------------------------------------------------------+ |Filename: SendKeys.zip | |Download: http://www.excelforum.com/attachment.php?postid=3695 | +-------------------------------------------------------------------+ -- Jim333 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Jim333's Profile: http://www.excelforum.com/member.php...fo&userid=5186 View this thread: http://www.excelforum.com/showthread...hreadid=396075 |

The application SendKeys
First: Application.SendKeys does not give you a value you can assign to a
range, as you are trying to do; instead you would need to make the desired cell the active cell and then use SendKeys to type the string "^;" into it, but... Next point: it is not necessary or even advisable to use SendKeys for this; just get today's date with the Date() function: IF RANGE("C" & TARGET.ROW).VALUE < "" THEN RANGE("D" & TARGET.ROW).VALUE = DATE() -- - K Dales "Jim333" wrote: Hi everybody, My question is about using the application SendKeys with IF inside VBA, I have a table contains twenty rows and five columns (File Attached), what I want is that when any of the twenty cells in column "C" is not blank, Then: By using the application SendKeys, the current date should be inserted in the opposite cell in column "D".

The application SendKeys
Hi, Thank you for your reply, but the code you delivered is not what I want excalty. The date updates daily while I want it to stay as it was inserted at the first time and that is why I asked to insert it by using SendKyes Application. Do you have another way??? -- Jim333 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Jim333's Profile: http://www.excelforum.com/member.php...fo&userid=5186 View this thread: http://www.excelforum.com/showthread...hreadid=396075 |
