How are you using the sendkeys? I have found several commands don't work correctly unless they are part of a SUB.

In a mach button script you often need this structure:

Sub Main
commands here
End Sub

Main

This creates a subroutine, then calls it. I just had a file open problme I fixed today and changing to this structure fixed it.

Dont ask me why this works, but it does.

I, myself, am having trouble with the SendKeys command. My problem may be because I am attempting to apply the key function to another application, and I am unsure as to whether I need to call the other application to focus first. I will let you know if I learn anything.
