Duplicate Key Strokes using VBA SendKeys

hcl-bot · August 11, 2009, 5:58pm

I have an Excel VBA Script that opens a Lotus Notes e-mail then uses the Application.SendKeys command to type a message. It works fine with Lotus Notes 7, but I see duplicate key strokes with Lotus Notes 8. If I disable the new features of Lotus Notes 8 using the “notes.exe -SA” start up command it works ok. Below is an expample of the results. Any ideas on how to fix this?

Subject: Don’t use SendKeys for this

The Notes API has methods in NotesUIDocument for putting the cursor into fields and inserting text (or inserting text without moving the cursor). There’s no need to use SendKeys for this.
