Hi All

Both returns £65FY instead of #65FY

I used type("#65FY") and paste("#65FY") Both does not send #65FY

I would very grateful to you, if any of you could help me in this ?

paste("#65FY") definitely works.

for type() see faq 933 for non US-qwerty keyboards.

On my german keyboard for example:
type("\\65FZ")
types the wanted string, means:
on my german keyboard the # is where on the US keyboard is the \
same goes for Y and Z

many cases can be solved this way if you compare your keyboard layout with the US layout.
