This is driving me nuts!

I use Microsoft OneNote for saving incoming and outgoing emails in Outlook 2016. 

I would like to automatically send my outgoings emails to OneNote as soon as I send the email, rather than do it manually.

This is the code I have written:

AppBringUp "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office16\OUTLOOK.EXE"

Wait 500

sendkeys "{Alt 3}"

HeardWord "press","enter"

SendKeys "{F6}"

Wait 500

SendKeys "{Enter}"

HeardWord "Go", "to", "top"

This code will switch to Outlook, go to the Sent Items folder Favourites, then move to the Navigation Pane. However, despite trying various ways, I cannot get the cursor to move to the top of the page, where my latest sent email is listed. I've tried SendKeys "{ctrl+home}" but nothing happens. As can be seen above, I've also tried HeardWord, but again, it does not highlight the latest sent email. Anyone know what I'm doing wrong?

Assuming this is a DVC script, try the following:

AppBringUp "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office16\OUTLOOK.EXE"
Wait 1000
Sendkeys "{Alt+3}"
Wait 500
Sendkeys "{Enter}"
Wait 300
SendKeys "{F6}"
Wait 500
SendKeys "{Enter}"
Wait 300
SendSystemKeys "{Ctrl+Home}"

You're a genius! I have been trying on and off for a few weeks in the hope of getting this to work. The 'SendSystemKeys' was the missing link. Many thanks indeed!!!
