Hi,

I have some code to send some numbers to the calculator (aprt of a sample).
Its in a loop
SENDKEYS I "{+}", TRUE

I get the error message:
Expected variable or Procedure not Project.
Anybody able to help?

Any chance of posting a bit more of the code up there please?

PS I assume the syntax error was accidental.



The following code worked for me. I put the calc.exe as the foreground app and the vb code put the values into the calculator.

Private Sub Timer1_Timer()

Dim i As Integer

For i = 1 To 20

    SendKeys i & "{+}", True
Next i

End Sub

Hi -

thanks for your reply - the syntax error was a mistake.  he code is from the help and gives me the error as stated even with the correct syntax.

What I'm trying to do (this may not be the way to do it), is to automate the sending of e-mails based on a timer object.

Thus the app will have data fed into it and then at periodic intervals it will automaticalyy send emails in the format

<standard text><variable text from table><standard text>

I wish to use Outlook as my e-mail sender and receiver.  Dont want masses of code.  I have been todl that it might be better to use another method but am not aware of one thats easy.

You could try using the mapi controls instead of using the sendkeys.

Select the Microsoft MAPI Controls 6.0 from the Components screen (Ctrl - T)

This will give you two controls MapiSession and MapiMessage. Put both of these onto your form. Then use the following code.

In your timer function use the following code.

    

MAPISession1.UserName = "<your login name>"     MAPISession1.SignOn     MAPIMessages1.SessionID = MAPISession1.SessionID     MAPIMessages1.Compose     MAPIMessages1.RecipAddress = "<to email address>"     MAPIMessages1.ResolveName     MAPIMessages1.MsgSubject = "Hello"     MAPIMessages1.MsgNoteText = "World"     MAPIMessages1.Send     MAPISession1.SignOff

Good luck
