SendKeys is accessible via the WScript.Shell object too; so in VBScript you can do:

Dim objSH
Set objSH = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")

The most interesting methods will be AppActivate (if I remember correctly) and SendKeys. I've never actually used this in VB6, but I'd guess you add a reference and that lets you create an instance of WScript.Shell to use.

Edit: just checked; yup, it's AppActivate. Googling for the method names will help.
