I'm trying to automate the input of data on a large number of forms and have
come up against a problem with entering a spacebar command. I can't find
this among Visual Basic help and, as far as I can see, no other keyboard
command will tick thje box I need ticked.

Any way round this?

SendKeys " "

Nigel,

Thanks for that, I've tried it but it doesn't seem to work in the form I'm
using.

If I send two Sendkeys "{TAB}" commands (from 2 tabs above the checkbox I
want to select) I achieve the same thing, i.e. the label to the checkbox is
'selected' (dotted rectangle) but Sendkeys "" or Sendkeys "{Space}", Sendkeys
"{SPC}" or Sendkeys "{Spacebar}" won't put a tick in the box I need a tick in!

Any other possibilities?

Thanks

Tony
