Keys Action misses entering a space
We have this line in our codes for entering parts of a formula:
TestObj.Keys(ELSE IF t ge G THEN)
However, the script has been entering "ELSE IF T geG THEN" on a number of times lately, and I'm not sure why. It's missing the space just before 'G' in the formula.
Does anyone know why this is happening? What can I do to improve the reliability?
Thanks in advance.

- I've seen this happen with auto complete on some forms. Does the control support auto complete? You could use set text as Robert suggests as well. I prefer to use .Keys because it more accurately represents what a user will do.
For testing purposes you could try:
Adding a space/
TestObj.Keys("ELSE IF t ge G THEN")
Breaking up the keys/
TestObj.Keys("ELSE IF t ge")
TestObj.Keys(" G THEN")
Just to see if you get different results.
Hope that helps!

- Thanks for your replies.
I have tried SetText but I slightly prefer Keys.
Additional space works fine, always. Splitting the statement works on and off, just as before. Interesting find though, but that's what works.
