Hi Dave

This morning tek-tips.com is coming up as "The service is unavailable" but the foxite link was just the ticked especially in conjunction with http://www.contextures.com/excelvbasendkeys.html#keycombo which shows how to use SHIFT, CTRL and ALT as modifiers.

Many thanks

Hi all

I have an external application that responds to hot keys (e.g. CTRL+ALT+S) even when its window is not active/on top. Any ideas as to how I could send that key combination from VFP?

Many thanks
