Sorry you're having trouble with your Dell. That's all we buy because they are reliable. I was running an OptiPlex 280 that was 7 years old and it still worked great. I upgraded to Access 2010 and ran it on XP. I'm not a code genius but I have to be able to get reports out of our timesheet database and I was reluctant to change computers because I also use a lot of Excel spreadsheet with macro's. I finally had to put in the new OptiPlex 990 with an I5 processor and 16gb of ram. WOOHOOO is it faster. I like speed. Windows 7 takes some getting used to but there are some nice things in it. Just have to learn how to find them. I'd tell dell to ship me a replacement keyboard with the Pause/Break key and send them the old one back. -----Original Message----- From: accessd-bounces at databaseadvisors.com [mailto:accessd-bounces at databaseadvisors.com] On Behalf Of Tony Septav Sent: Thursday, September 20, 2012 3:07 PM To: 'Access Developers discussion and problem solving' Subject: Re: [AccessD] Ctrl Break Hey Guys Thank You kindly. This is a new system. And <Pause/Break> does not exist on the new keyboard. I am not criticizing any of your comments. But ever since I bought this new Dell product with Windows 7 it has been one problem after another. My major problem is that there is no longer the option to do <Ctrl Break> in Access 2003 to kill the Access error message and view what is causing the problem in my code. The thing is I do not want to try my old keyboard, and I do not want to talk to Dell's support people because I already told them I would never buy another of their products. I am asking you guys if you can give me some direction, that is all. -----Original Message----- From: accessd-bounces at databaseadvisors.com [mailto:accessd-bounces at databaseadvisors.com] On Behalf Of Steve Turner Sent: September-20-12 2:45 PM To: Access Developers discussion and problem solving Subject: Re: [AccessD] Ctrl Break Have you tried your old keyboard it should still work. I got a new dell and I didn't like the light touch and one or two keys kept not working so I put the old one back on and things work fine. Oh are you on a laptop? Then you're up a creek I guess. -----Original Message----- From: accessd-bounces at databaseadvisors.com [mailto:accessd-bounces at databaseadvisors.com] On Behalf Of Tony Septav Sent: Thursday, September 20, 2012 2:25 PM To: 'Access Developers discussion and problem solving' Subject: Re: [AccessD] Ctrl Break Hey Steve I have to first thank both of you Steves for responding. No again the companies keep dictating what you get, the Pause/Break key is gone. Suckered again with the punch.

On the older versions of keyboards I would always use <Ctrl Break> to bust out of a code error message and jump to the spot it occurred. Is there an alternative? PS: Windows 7 is causing me more grieve then I ever expected.
