Ken,
Sorry I took so long to reply. I had a medical problem that is fine now.
I'm using the sendText VBScript. Here is the script to send an item.
put "Set WshShell = CreateObject(" & quote & "WScript.Shell" & quote &
")" & return & \
"WshShell.SendKeys" && quote & field "TextToPut" & quote into
Vscript
sendText Vscript
