I have a project where I need to automate Internet Explorer to read data from a website. The data must be read from a page which is a popup page activated by clicking some text on the main URL. But since many users have disabled popups, I need to programmatically press the shift key before I programmatically press the text. Something like

lox=Createobject('internetexplorer.application')
lox.Navigate('http://www.someurl.com/somepage')
if navcomplete(lox,lntime)
   ** Press shift key
   lox.document.all.Main.contentWindow.document.all.minf0.click()
Endif

Can someone help me with code to simulate that the shift key is pressed?
