SendKeys Statement Doesn't Send Keystrokes to Module in MS Excel

   Sub To_Excel()
      AppActivate "Microsoft Excel"
      SendKeys "Sub Test"
   End Sub
				

WORKAROUND

To work around this behavior, for example if you want to use a macro in Microsoft Project to enter code in a Visual Basic module in Microsoft Excel, you can write the desired code to a text file, and then use the Module.InsertFile method to insert the code in a Module in Microsoft Excel. The following is an example of using this method:

   Sub ToExcel()
      ' Dimension xl variable as Object type
      Dim xl As Object
      ' Set variable xl equal to the Excel Application object
      Set xl = Excel.Application

      With xl
         ' Open workbook in Excel
         ' Substitute your file name in the following line
         .Workbooks.Open ("c:\excel\files\test.xls")
         ' Insert text file that contains code
         ' Substitute your text file name in the following line
         .ActiveWorkbook.Modules("Module1").InsertFile "c:\code.txt"
         ' Close file, saving changes
         .ActiveWorkbook.Close True
         ' Quit application Excel
         .Quit
      End With

    End Sub
