Using Sendkeys to tab through screen - doesn't work on checkbox fields

R

Robert

I have created a module that simulates the keying of data
into an application, which tabs through fields that do not
need to be populated and updates fields that do need to be
populated. I am using the Sendkeys statement
(SendKeys "{TAB}", True) to tab through the fields on the
screen and this statement works correctly on input capable
fields, but it does not tab through fields that are
checkboxes.

Any help would be appreciated.
I am using Access 2000.

Who could say, without knowing what is the application you are talking
about?

Access, for example, has a TabStop property for controls. If you set that
property False, you won't be able to navigate to that control with the tab
key. Maybe the other application has something similar?

Does "manual" tabbing work? If not, the sendkeys method won't work either
(obviously).

HTH,
