[AccessD] Snedkeys Breaks in Vista

Works on Vista Ultimate (desktop) - So I installed SP2 on the laptop which
is Vista Home and it fails.  Something about Vista Home that breaks it. :(

Test it Rocky.  As far as I know it works in Vista if you aren't still using
the A97 libraries, because they were based on VB5.

Dear List:

Apparently Sendkeys does not work in Vista.  I know, I know, I shouldn't be
using SendKeys.  But this app was developed in A97 when it wasn't such a
disreputable technique.  But now, on a Vista box, SendKeys generates the
unhelpful error "Permission denied".

Is there a simple workaround for this?  Simpler than redesigning around the
use of sendkeys which admittedly only occurs in about a dozen places in my
app.
