Sorry AlexCode, This wouldnt work for my app. sid

If you find an answer tothis problem please let me know I have been woking on this for 4 weeks. I have tried using a timer to record the last actvie window and then set this as the active window before using send keys. This works fine on most things accept the IE explorer bar and common dialogue open and save, because these controls a really a combo box so when the focu is returned all the text is highlighted. Somebody help please cheers Sid
