Thanks.

Yep, don't use SendKeys! <grin>

Actually, way back when, when I actually used SendKeys for various things, I
wrote a function that checked the state of the Numlock key, and would change
it if necessary.  So what I did BEFORE the Sendkeys line, is check the
state, then ran SendKeys, then checked the state again.  If it changed, I
switched it back.  I also had a few forms back then that I wanted to force
the numlock on, so I actually put that code in a timer event, to 'lock' the
numlock key on.

I've found later on that I have not really run into a  situation the truly
requires sendkeys anymore, there are usually other approaches.

Hi there -

I am experiencing this same issue with an app using SendKeys with W2000.  

Is there a recommendation/resolution?

Thanks.

Do you use SendKeys in your application?  That is notorious for turning the
numlock on/off.

Hi Group,

We have an A97 application running on several machines with Windows XP Pro.
The application is an accounting-invoicing app.  When used on Windows 95 or
98, the Num Lock stays on but on XP, the Num Lock turns off apparently by
itself.  Has anyone ever run into this and if so, can it be corrected?

TIA
