    Sendkey alternative help

    Good AFternoon,

    I am still shaky on VBA and i want to attempt something new that I dont know where to start. So I am going to describe the process.



    1. Create a variable using fields + generic information+ fields
    -Dim Message as string
    -Message= "I am" & "[First name]" & " " & "[Last Name]"
    I want to shift focus to notepad(it would be open already)
    -Appactivate.notepad ???
    Then put the message created into notepad. something like sendkey but sent it all. dont know the proper command or nothing. I have heard of type text but I dont know the syntax for it at all.

    Thoughts?
