Trying to Send a Keystroke to a specific Window
I would very strongly recommend that not use SendKeys, especially with an
application like Excel that supports automation. If you describe what you need to accomplish, you will likely get a better approach that SendKeys. -- Cordially, Chip Pearson Microsoft Most Valuable Professional Excel Product Group, 1998 - 2008 Pearson Software Consulting, LLC www.cpearson.com (email on web site) "Jason Zischke" wrote in message ...

Trying to Send a Keystroke to a specific Window
Hi Chip
What I am trying to accomplish is I have created like a little program which prints to another excel window that is open so that the user can keep working while it prints so I tried sending a keystroke to that window where I have set up an Onkey accelerator to preform the print function on demand.
