David,
Kill the parenthesis on that line. Meaning the line should read:
KB.InsertString "tll"
Only use the parens if you are assigning the method to a variable which
of course you are not here. This is a VBScript thing.
Regards,
Doug

Thanks for your suggestion. When scrolling the WE Script manual, I
found the InsertKey, that you suggested, but also found the
InsertString, which seemed better. This due to the fact, I want to
send a string to the keyboard. So, I edited my script, and it now
reads the following. But when pressing the hotkey, I get the speech,
then an error message, which I have quoted below:
dim MyHotkey1 : Set myHotkey1 = Keyboard.RegisterHotkey("Control-q",
"NextItem")
Set KB = Keyboard
sub NextItem()
Speak "Next Item"
KB.InsertString( "tll" )
end sub ' NextItem
' error message:
type mismatch: 'InsertString'

what does the error message say?

object?

Hi,
I am trying to write a script. The following code should press
the keysequence
tll
for me, whenever the hotkey is pressed. But all that I get, is
an error message for the line, which I have marked with (*).
In other words, the (*) itself, does not apper in the code...
dim MyHotkey1 : Set myHotkey1 =
Keyboard.RegisterHotkey("Control--Shift-A", "NextItem")
Set WshShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
sub NextItem()
Speak "Next Item"
(*)WShShell.SendKeys "tll"
end sub 'NextItem
