Send keys in excel, Curly brackets key is registered as text and not as parto of an expression, eg. {Enter}

[jb0100]

Sending this to excel, the problem is that Alt works but after that the Curly brackets "{}" keys are counted as text, so excel makes a sound as if I pressed an "illegal" character.

Used a keylogger and ran the macro and the keypresses came out as: 

VK codes	Position	Key
A4	down	LEFT ALT
A4	up	LEFT ALT
A0	down	shift
DB	down	{
DB	up	{
A0	up	shift
58	down	X
58	up	X
A0	down	shift
DD	down	}
DD	up	}
A0	up	shift
58	down	X
58	up	X
A0	down	shift
DD	down	}
DD	up	}
A0	up	shift
A0	down	shift
DB	down	{
DB	up	{
A0	up	shift
32	down	2
32	up	2
A0	down	shift
DD	down	}
DD	up	}
A0	up	shift
32	down	2
32	up	2
A0	down	shift
DD	down	}
DD	up	}
A0	up	shift
0D	down	Enter
0D	up	Enter
09	down	Tab
09	up	Tab
0D	down	Enter
0D	up	Enter
0D	down	Enter
0D	up	Enter

So im totally lost...

I do not see any key as x when pressed even manually in Excel and it gives a sound of an illegal character.

So what is the x after the Alt in your message?

And which menu are you trying to activate?

I figured it out, {Alt}x2{enter}..... worked.
