SendKeys while NT WS is locked

[bmclaws]

I'm having an issue with the SendKeys command. After opending the application, the script waits for the login window to open and become active, then uses the sendkeys command to fill out the UID and PW.

This works fine if the Workstation is unlocked, but running the script from Task Scheduler with the Workstation locked (its here at work) results in the application opening, but the login window never becomes active.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Barry

That's because, AFA the Sendkey method is concerned, the active window is defined as the window with keyboard focus.

Thus if the workstation is locked, the "workstation locked" window will ALWAYS be active in this context. Jon Hawkins
