1. How do I use sendkeys capslocks in on enter for a textbox. What is the
correct syntax

2. How do I use multiple key like if ctrl+enter is pressed data is saved to
a database table.
 
seeker,

The best idea is to never use "SendKeys" at all. There are multiple ways
to accomplish what you need without using this method which can fail you.

In the case of the text box. If you place a > in the "Format" property of
your text box, when the user exits the text box all charctes will
automatically be displayed as upper case.

You can also place the following line of VBA code in the "After Update"
event of your text box and when the user exits the text box, all characters
will be converted to upper case:

Me.Text2 = UCase(Me.Text2)
Replace the "Text2" with the actual name of your text box control.

thank you for these two excellant suggestions. Could you answer the second
question regarding multiple key press such as ctrl+enter to accomplish a
piece of code. Thank you.

What problem are you trying to solve here. Are you at the table
datasheet view, form view or what?

We should be able to give you alternative suggestions which don't
require SendKeys.
