[AccessD] A2000: Inserting HTML codes into a Text Box

Charlotte,

It's possible that my Access 2000 installation is a bit screwy. I
tried that AutoKeys thing in Access 2003 and it works as advertised.
My new ^b macro uses SendKeys to insert <b></b> at the cursor just
fine.

However, on an older machine with Access 2000 installed, I set up the
same macro in AutoKeys, but when I press the key combo, a message
appears in the Access status bar: "Setting up wizards..." and a
progress bar appears next to it. A single block appears in the status
bar and nothing happens. If I then press ^b again, the status message
and progress bar disappears, but still no HTML codes. I think I'll see
what happens if I open this Access 2000 database in 2003 and do the
macros there.

Thanks, Charlotte.
