[AccessD] Arrow keys in Excel

ROTFL.  THANKS.  I never knew the scroll lock indicator was there in Excel,
and yes, it WAS on, and it turns out I need to tap the function key WITHOUT
the FN shift key.  All is fine now. 

I have a 4 year old boy who is probably the culprit here. 

Thanks!

AFAIK, it's purely based on the Scroll Lock state. Check whether the status 
bar at the bottom right of the Excel window has "SCRL" showing.  If so, I'd 
suspect a hardware problem with your Scroll Lock key.
