Task scheduler issue - can’t get sendkeys to work

[copenhagen69]

I am trying to set up some task scheduling stuff. However once I get it going I cannot get the keyboard shortcut to play the program.

I have in arguments - WshShell.SendKeys “^(A)”

CTRL+A is the command to play

What am I missing with this. As far as my research goes this is the correct command to get it to run.

I don't set too much up in Task Scheduler and I haven't tried this at all my self, but the link above says you should make use of braces { }.

Looks like you have parentheses ( ) in your command line.

hmmm yes I had () ...I changed it to WshShell.SendKeys "^{A}" ... but still no luck at the moment.

How about:

WshShell.SendKeys "^A"

Yep tried that. I’ve tried almost every combo I can think of for this haha. Nothing seems to work. I am really confused as everything I read said this should work
