Hi, can anyone help.
I need to be able to replicate the sendkeys command to perform the function of holding down the 'CTRL' key and 'TAB' key at the same time. I know that ^ is the CTRL and {TAB} is TAB but can't get the two to work together.
I am using Excel 97 on NT 4.0 and am trying to shell out to explorer select a file and it's properties and then get to the permissions. To do this I need to CTRL & TAB.
Does anyone have any ideas?

Many Thanks

Bryan
 
One idea might be to use the ATTRIB and CACLS commands from the NT command line, redirect the output from the desired files to a text file, then process the text within Excel to post the results.

Seems like a lot of work ! !
