Hi,

 

It's always better to use Keys method instead of SetText

 

You can Try with the following

 

Object.Keys("[End]![Home][Del]"+Project.Variables.XXX); or Object.Keys("[Home]![End][Del]"+Project.Variables.XXX);

 

Also Goto Project Properties -> Playback, There is one textbox available "Key Pressing Delay, MS" You can use 50ms or 25ms instead of 0

 

It may helpful :)

 

Thanks,

Kamal

    Hi,

     

    Use  objName.value = "" .

     

    sometime keys and settext methods may append blank value in your object (if object is auto filled, Which is having water mark text) in this case .value method is most usefull.
