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.

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.
