sendkeys wont work

Hi friends
I have a pageframe with 10 tabs on a form.
i have a command btn which has hot key (R).I am calling that hotkey
programmatically
(using sendkeys ) at different places as it is invisible to user.
it working beautifully but it wont work if any grid has focus.(BTW the grids
r readonly)
any ideas on this please
Thanks

afraid i cant use that command Wolfgang as we r using Shell object
to pass sendkeys.like following

oShell = Createobject("wscript.shell")
oShell.AppActivate("VIPEasyClaim")
oShell.Sendkeys("ALT+R")

Have you tried the ON KEY LABEL? IIRC anything stuffed into the
keyboard buffer should activate and OKL just as if the user pressed the
key themselves.

I understand that. If I remember right, it doesn't matter if the user
presses the key or if some other program stuffs the keystroke into the
keyboard buffer. My recollection is that ON KEY LABEL grabs the
keystrokes from the keyboard buffer. If not, you could use INKEY()
which certainly does read the keyboard buffer and WILL work. That is
why I was asking if you had tried it, as I think that it will work the
way you are doing it.
