Is it possible to code keystrokes to a different application? Do I need to
use focus commands? Is there some better method in vba to use? If it's
possible, an example would be great. NT & XL97.
 
It is not very practical to use keystrokes across applications. I don't know
that it is even possible with VBA. Without some description of what you hope
to accomplish, it is difficult to offer an alternative method.
 
SendKeys should be your last option.
Depending on what the other application is/does, automation or DDE maybe
possible.

More details.
