Try opening your ie url, open your form, then getting the full URL of the
text file you are trying to download. Then you can use a separate function
to download the file without using SendKeys. You can find this function at:

Since this doesn't use SendKeys, it will work even if the computer is locked.

Can you post a link to your site or is it internal only?

I believe the pc must be unlocked in order for SendKeys to work. What are
