todays date in access field using keystrokes

[trainref]

Up to Dec 31, 2005 I could insert "todays date " in a field with keystrokes
"CTRL+Semicolon", when year changed to 2006 it does not work now.
Does anybody have an answer to this problem

That shortcut still works here.

Any other factors that could be in play here?
Try it in the Orders form in the Northwind sample database?
If it works there, you are looking for another cause.
