I'm not sure. On my machine at home, if I hold the shift key down for a second or two it's turned on.

In Windows XP, you'll find it under Control Panel -> Accessibility Options.

I traced it down to the sticky keys being activated. I haven't a clue as to why it was activated, but I turn it off and it goes away.

I don't know of any fix other than shutting down and re-opening. I always decompile / compile / compact and repair of course. John W.

Any form inside the access app is affected and it seems to go away after they shutdown and restart the application. I dunno if anyone here has seen this, it's not the old "the keyboard buffer is stuck" situation. -- -Francisco http://pcthis.blogspot.com |PC news with out the jargon! http://sqlthis.blogspot.com | Tsql and More... -- AccessD mailing list AccessD at databaseadvisors.com http://databaseadvisors.com/mailman/listinfo/accessd Website: http://www.databaseadvisors.com -- AccessD mailing list AccessD at databaseadvisors.com http://databaseadvisors.com/mailman/listinfo/accessd Website: http://www.databaseadvisors.com -- AccessD mailing list AccessD at databaseadvisors.com http://databaseadvisors.com/mailman/listinfo/accessd Website: http://www.databaseadvisors.com -- AccessD mailing list AccessD at databaseadvisors.com http://databaseadvisors.com/mailman/listinfo/accessd Website: http://www.databaseadvisors.com -- AccessD mailing list AccessD at databaseadvisors.com http://databaseadvisors.com/mailman/listinfo/accessd Website: http://www.databaseadvisors.com -- AccessD mailing list AccessD at databaseadvisors.com http://databaseadvisors.com/mailman/listinfo/accessd Website: http://www.databaseadvisors.com -- AccessD mailing list AccessD at databaseadvisors.com http://databaseadvisors.com/mailman/listinfo/accessd Website: http://www.databaseadvisors.com
