Hi SH-16101208-0 I hope you are doing well.

The reason why it is not working is because you are using plain numbers, and you should use the Insert Special Keys numbers defined in PAD.

For example, instead of 1 you should utilize “NumPad1” and instead of 2, you should use “NumPad2”.

Here is the snippet code tested to switch from one tab to another.

MouseAndKeyboard.SendKeys.FocusAndSendKeys TextToSend: $'''{Control}({NumPad1})''' DelayBetweenKeystrokes: 10 SendTextAsHardwareKeys: False
MouseAndKeyboard.SendKeys.FocusAndSendKeys TextToSend: $'''{Control}({NumPad2})''' DelayBetweenKeystrokes: 10 SendTextAsHardwareKeys: False

There are also better ways to switch from one tab to another, but for now, that should do the trick.

Please let me know if it works, happy automating!
