XL2000: SendKeys Slower When Compared to MS Excel 7.0 (213592)


The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Excel 2000
This article was previously published under Q213592

SYMPTOMS

When you run a Microsoft Visual Basic for Applications macro that uses the SendKeys statement in Microsoft Excel 2000, the macro may be slower compared to earlier versions of Microsoft Excel.

WORKAROUND

To work around this problem, use the SendKeys method for the Application object instead of the SendKeys statement. In Microsoft Excel 2000, the SendKeys method for the Application object executes more quickly than the Visual Basic SendKeys statement.

For example, if you use the following SendKeys command 
SendKeys "^X"

replace it with the following command: 
Application.SendKeys "^X"

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed at the beginning of this article.
