sendkeys not working on scheduled task

[dyan24]

hello,

I have a vbscript that needs to run on a scheduled task. The problem is i am using sendkeys and it seems Not working on a scheduled task.

How do i get around this? Please help!

Sendkeys cannot work if the desktop is locked or not logged in even though the task does run. If you post what you are trying to do, perhaps someone can suggest a way of doing it without using sendkeys.
