VB script

[tony wong]

i have 3 scripts to run which are mainly making use of "sendkeys"

i can do it by VBA (run in Outlook).

However i wish to make use of Windows XP scheduler to run it in every 2
hours.

therefore i add the 1st 2 lines and run it by VB script, but it stops at
"sendkeys"

**************************
Set objWSHShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
objWSHShell.Run("Outlook.exe")

WScript.Sleep 20000

SendKeys "%f"
SendKeys "{down 4}"
SendKeys "{enter}"
*******************

i have the following thoughts
1. to run it by VB scripts (but i don't know why stops at "sendkeys"
2. to run a VB scripts in which it activate the specified VBA in the Outlook

Grateful for any hints.

Automating Outlook via a scheduled task is not recommended:

Outlook object model is unsuitable to run in a Windows service:
