You could try using SendKeys(), which in theory might work, it is placing keys into the keyboard buffer after all, so another app. that has the foucs might well pick them up.
Dim strPath As String = Application.StartupPath & "\db4.mdb" Dim Connection As String = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=" & strPath Application.StartupPath being the app's path ( like App.Path in vb6 ) hope it helps.:)

Sorry ... I assumed WinZip was a MS product, since that is where I downloaded my last version. Yes, Word has what I need and it would be nice. Maybe XP and it's XML layer will solve the truly integrated office components problem; however, it is my understanding that it is still a few years away.
Greetings, fellow Columbus developer... Are you talking about VB or VB.NET? Either way, the easiest way I can think of to view a PDF file is using the Internet control, or just spawning Internet Explorer to view the PDF. As long as the client has the Acrobat Reader plug-in to IE installed, they can view the PDF.
i may have answered your question on vbforums.com like this.... Private Sub Button1_KeyDown(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.KeyEventArgs) Handles Button1.KeyDown If e.Alt = True Then If e.KeyCode = Keys.X Then MsgBox("alt & x") End If End If End Sub hope thats what you wanted :)
