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

AutoKeys should work in any version of Access, so I suspect you have a
wizard problem with the 2000 on the older machine.  That was a recurrent
problem in that version, as I recall.

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.
