From: Rob Tuch on 8 Dec 2009 13:29 Microsoft has committed to support VB6 applications in Vista and Windows 7. However, it appears that support for VB Sendkeys is still lacking. The latest updates for Windows Vista and Windows 7 appear to support Sendkeys ONLY if UAC is turned off. For customers who use an older (VB6) version of our product who still insist on installing Windows Vista and Windows 7, currently the only solutions we can offer is to turn UAC off--which is unacceptable for some. This prevents users from potentially updating thousands of workstations. I hope to discover if and when Microsoft will update Vista and Windows 7 so that VB6 (and Windows Scripting Host) Sendkeys will work as it does with UAC off.

I think it was terrible to begin with since it appears to be a kluge from the early days. That's my advice, though I'm sure a lot of people won't like it.
