Can't get Alt-Tab to Work

I have tried to use send the keys command- hold down alt and press tab.   For some reason, this doesn't work

Send("!{TAB}")

However, the following works:

Send("{TAB}") - send just a tab

Send("!f")- sends alt and f

It doesn't make sense to me why alt tab wouldn't work when the 2 codes above does work.  I would greatly appreciate any help with this.

@jjrr007 I just tested Send("!{TAB}") on both a windows 7 and a windows 10 box, and it worked fine on both with AutoIt 3.3.14.2. How about a little more information as to what OS you're on, what AutoIt version, and just what you're trying to accomplish?

Thank you for your responses.  

JLogan3o13,

I'm working on automating a manual data entry from a website.  I have create a couple automation projects using this software that had automated mouse clicks and keyboard entries.   I am using Windows 8.1 with SciTE-Lite   Version 3.5.4

I also tried the following code that didn't work  Send("{ALTDOWN} {TAB] {ALTUP}")

 

Not sure what I should do?
