Yeah well, in the end, I gave up/in and wrote a VB OCX DLL and call it from
Delphi.
I have to admit, Vb does SendKeys easier than Delphi.....sigh...obviously
since it has a function to call.
Delphi does do it, but i seemed to kit a brick wall when I tried to send
keys to a Dialog screen like a save dialog.
Where as the OCX DLL I wrote in VB doesit just nice, and now my wee project
works like a charm.

The call to use is keybd_event.
On the other issue, remeber that the dialog has control,
standard code in other forms wont run.
Furthermore, if you are using a menu to initiate it, then I have
across it, I cant remember the details, but it was a windows design
feature. Try tracing the code through and put some breakpoints. My
bet is that the key-sending-code you want does not execute until after
the menu is closed.
