Some code may help you...

HOWTO: Toggle the NUM LOCK, CAPS LOCK, and SCROLL LOCK Keys
http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/Q177/6/74.ASP

The help says:

Because the SetKeyboardState function alters the input state of the calling thread and not the global input state of the system, an application cannot use SetKeyboardState to set the NUM LOCK, CAPS LOCK, or SCROLL LOCK indicator lights on the keyboard.

VB Declaration

Declare Function SetKeyboardState& Lib "user32" (lppbKeyState As Byte)
