Simulating Keystrokes from a service

I have a service that is monitoring a serial port for input from a
weighing scale. When the input is received I need to send the text to an
edit field within a browser. I have simulated the monitor running as an
exe and the edit field was within the exe, it all works great. I cannot
get the keybd_event function to send the text to an another application.
I know the service is receiving the input as I placed a "BEEP" inside
the function that calls the PostKey32Ex function (that I found online)
and again inside the PostKey32Ex function itself.
Ideas would be greatly appreciated.
