Sending Keystrokes to a Program

[Guest]

Greetings,
I'm trying to write a bat file to send keystrokes to an application. I've
been referencing a microsoft doc (see link below) on the subject which
includes sample scripts, but nothing is working. I run XP as an operating
system and as Office applications, so it's not a matter of being outdated for
the function. Any ideas on this? Cheers.

I'm no scripting expert, but..... You can't do it with a bat file. Use the
1st example which opens Notepad & writes this is a test. Open Notepad, cut
& paste the example. Save it as test.vbs & run it. You've just made your
first Visual Basic script.
