I have a small sub that has been in a program for many years. I use
the program only once a year in March. The routine is suppose to
intercept an ENTER key and create a Tab key input. The routine is:

If KeyAscii = vbKeyReturn Then
KeyAscii = 0 ' suppress the beep
SendKeys "{tab}"
End If

When the program attempts to execute the sendkeys statement I get the
error indicated. I have attempted to run the program as Administrator
with the same results. Previously the program ran under XP and VISTA.
I now run it under Windows 7.

Could this account for the change in behavior or can anyone point me to
why this happens?

This was discussed many times. Search the newsgroups for "vb SendKeys
Permission Denied Vista".

SendKeys didn't transition well to Vista/Win7. If you have UAC
enabled, you get that error. Best bet is to avoid it entirely. If
it's necessary, and people other than you need to run it, see
http://vb.mvps.org/samples/SendInput for a drop-in alternative.
