The other day, I needed a macro to do a few thousand repetitive keystrokes, so I thought I would try it with VBScript.

Whatever I did, I could not get the following line to work:

WshShell.SendKeys "{DOWN}"

Have some SendKeys commands been disabled for security reasons or is it just flaky?


Anyway, I found a quick and easy solution using AutoIt and Send("{DOWN}") , but I'm still wondering why I couldn't get the VBScript to work.
