Access 2003 Autokeys stopped working

[Greg]

Today for some reason...Access Autokey stopped working. It's not the MDB
app but only on this one computer...works fine on others.....real
pain....must be some update from MS that hosed my main coding system.

If you have a fix please just post it here...I'm sure more people will have
this issue as days go by.

Hello Greg.

Maybe some database app has changed the appropriate option.
Open the debug windows (Ctrl + G) and enter
?GetOption("Key Assignment Macro")
This will display the name of the macro, as Access expects it.
You can set that value using the debug window:
SetOption "Key Assignment Macro", "AutoKeys"
Afterwards, reopen your database.

That was it...Access changed the AutoKeys to mcrAssemblyAutokeys strange
how that happened....not sure why...Thanks!
