No need for any delay. alt+shift switches to Hebrew immediately Code: Copy Sub txtShem_FocusChanged (HasFocus As Boolean) Dim wr As AWTRobot wr.RobotSpecialKeyPress("alt") wr.RobotSpecialKeyPress("shift") wr.RobotSpecialKeyRelease("alt") wr.RobotSpecialKeyRelease("shift") End Sub works just fine. Switches to Hebrew when field got focus, switches back to English when lost focus Upvote 0

If you run into this issue, you can use ws.RobotDelay(10). Upvote 0
