I wish to force a Page Down keypress or a CTRL-L or any other keypress on an OLE control/object.

How can this be done.

Go to Microsoft and search for "keybd_event" - it is part of user32.dll, but is not prototyped in "DLL_USER32". If you prototype it, then setting focus to the window and then using keybd_event with the scan code should do what you want.

I Need Help!

I cannot understand what I have to do to get the keybd_event to work within OI 7.1.1

I would appreciate a step by step explanation how to get this to work.
