sendkeys problem

I am trying to use the sendkeys function to add an ftp site.

the code:

Application.SendKeys "%fa%if{DOWN}~"

produces the necessary "Add/Modify ftp Locations" dialogue panel.

BUT if I try:

Application.SendKeys "%fa%if{DOWN}~myserver.mydomain.com"

nothing appears in the required domain name entry field.


Any ideas ?

When you get to the end of this:
Application.SendKeys "%fa%if{DOWN}~"
is the cursor in the domain name entry field? It needs to be there if you
want to enter text into it - sometimes it takes some {TAB}s to get there.
