First question - what are Control and Alt in SendKeys? I know Enter is "{ENTER}" and backspace is "{BACKSPACE}", but Alt seems to be neither "{ALT}" nor "{ALTER}", and same for Ctrl being neither "{CONTROL}" nor "{CTRL}".

Second question - can you say And in SendKeys. No, not &, AND. Basically, I want to close something via SendKeys, so I tried Alt + F4. As you can see, I couldn't do it. Couldn't get the Alt or the + to work, but the F4 was fine.

Can anyone help[?]

Does "no answer" mean no-one knows how to do it, or no-one's looked at the thread yet? Surely SOMEONE knows about SendKeys here.

Copied and pasted from the Windows Script Help file (down load from script center at www.technet.com)

To send keyboard characters that are comprised of a regular keystroke in combination with a SHIFT, CTRL, or ALT, create a compound string argument that represents the keystroke combination. You do this by preceding the regular keystroke with one or more of the following special characters:

Key Special Character
SHIFT +
CTRL ^
ALT %

Note When used this way, these special characters are not enclosed within a set of braces.
To specify that a combination of SHIFT, CTRL, and ALT should be held down while several other keys are pressed, create a compound string argument with the modified keystrokes enclosed in parentheses. For example, to send the keystroke combination that specifies that the SHIFT key is held down while:

e and c are pressed, send the string argument "+(ec)".
e is pressed, followed by a lone c (with no SHIFT), send the string argument "+ec".
