How do I use Send Keys with the space bar?

[McEnaney]

Hi. I'm new to VBScript, and I'm using VBScript Send Keys
to install a number of products. I'm running into trouble when I need to check a number of boxes for different options. In the product, I highlight the option and hit the space bar, but this does not seem to work when executing the script. I have tried {SPACE} and {""}.

Any help would be wonderful.
Thanks.

helo

don't try {""}, instead use {" "}
hope it will work.

I presume you are referring to the Sendkeys method of WSH. The braces aren't necessary.

Set oWSH = CreateObject("WScript.Shell&quot
oWSH.SendKeys " " ' press spacebar

If the check boxes have hotkeys, you can use those:

Set oWSH = CreateObject("WScript.Shell&quot
oWSH.SendKeys "%H" ' press ALT+H Jon Hawkins
