[AccessD] sending ALT Shift Characters

Here is another approach, this assumes you are running with a floating 
multi language keyboard bar set from the control panel
This works well if using multiple language keyboards, maynot work well 
with 97 can't remember.
Switch on textbox's  On Focus

Public Declare Function LoadKeyboardLayout Lib "user32" Alias _
"LoadKeyboardLayoutA" (ByVal pwszKLID As String, ByVal Flags As Long) As 
Long

Private Declare Function ActivateKeyboardLayout Lib "user32" (ByVal HKL 
As Long, _
ByVal Flags As Long) As Long

Private Declare Function GetKeyboardLayoutName Lib "user32" Alias _
"GetKeyboardLayoutNameA" (ByVal pwszKLID As String) As Long

Const KL_NAMELENGTH = 9

Sub testarabic()
Dim lRet As Long

   lRet = LoadKeyboardLayout("00000409", 1)     '   For English
