    Application.SendKeys won't work with Remote Desktop????

    I'm simply executing the following and it won't work. DoEvents
    I threw in for testing as i saw reference that it may help,
    plus the time delay was a suggestion, none of which solves
    the fact that NO data (via SendKeys) can be sent to a Terminal Services
    or Remote Desktop connection window. Suggestions?
    --------------------------------
    'switch App focus to the Fundware App
    AppActivate "Intuit FundWare"

    DoEvents
    'wait 10 seconds
    Application.Wait (Now + TimeValue("0:00:10"))
    DoEvents

    'I even tried Application.SendKeys, neither work.
    SendKeys "test", True
    DoEvents
    -------------------------------
    Thanks for your help!

    Sorry, not much help here.

    SendKeys is the absolute worst way to do anything, and should only be used
    if there is absolutely no other way to accomplish the task.

    In your scenario, I can only offer two suggestions. 1) do the task locally
    (get rid of remote desktop), or 2) find a way to connect to the Intuit
    software without using sendkeys. You will not get Remote Desktop to accept
    Sendkeys.

    There is a third possibility, and that is that you are trying to
    inappropriately pry into someone else's finances using a Remote Desktop
    connection, in which case I hope you get caught and get exactly what you
    deserve.
