SendKeys in Active Window

Not specifically a problem, just trying to learn more VBA through trial and error. Theoretically, this code should open internet explorer, wait for some time, and then simulate the keyboard strokes Ctrl+E.

My question is, why does the search field not highlight in Internet Explorer when I run the macro and simulate Ctrl+E (search the web shortcut). I understand SendKeys is volatile and does not necessarily run at the same time as the application opens which is why I try to wait for 3 seconds to give IE enough time to open.

Any tips? Cheers.

I do not know what this key combination should do.
But Sendkeys need to be preceeded by DoEvents to have the sub wait for keyboard input.
