You're using SendKeys, that means you're using the web browser control in a windows app ? SendKeys is retarded and hacky, you should never use or trust it. It's a VB6 hack that should have died with it.

The file upload control has special protection to stop hackers using it, you can't set it's value in code, and it could well be blocking what you're trying to do here, too.

What should I replace it with?

You should expect to interact with elements on your form by getting a reference to them. In this instance, as I said, I don't think it's possible.
