All,
I would guess that there are several ways to deal with this issue.
Here is another approach that isn't too bad (ya sure, you betcha this is
how we talk in Minnesota :-)
I use an free open source utility tool called AutoHotKey for many
things. I call it my Swiss Army Knife software.
Here is some actual AutoHotKey code that will intercept a "Ctrl + F12"
and send a "Ctrl + Break". For a test, I set up a tight loop in Access
VBA and killed it with a "Ctrl + F12". I choose "Ctrl + F12" for this
test, but it can be any key or combination of keys.
^F12::
Send, {CTRLDOWN}{CTRLBREAK}{CTRLBREAK}{CTRLUP}
This is probably the approach that I will use when my new PC comes with
a keyboard this is missing the Break Key.
"Why make things simple when you can make them complex and wonderful"
:-)

Jim:
It looked like a good thing to try but I'm not to good with the registry
and
always real cautious.
So I went to Regedit and when I drill down to Keyboard Layout I find two
more sub-folders - DosKeybCodes and DosKeybIDs. Ignore those?
So then is this snip that remaps F10 a new key?
There's one key in Keyboard Layout - Default. Do I edit that one? Or
create a new key?
If a new key does it go into its own sub-folder or into the Keyboard
Layout
folder?
Is Scancode Map the Value Name and the snip starting with =hex entered
in
the value data?
So many questions...:)
Thanks
Rocky

It's not there on mine either. I've remapped the F10 using this:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Keyboard Layout]
"Scancode
Map"=hex:00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,02,00,00,00,46,e0,44,00,00,00,00,00
Some have said this program works well:

But I haven't tried it yet.
Jim.

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.

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.

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.

You don't have a pause break key to the right of the f keys?

Hey Steve
Nope, I have tried all kinds of CTRL combinations and I just do not get
the
needed affect.

Hey All
On my new Dell machine on the keyboard I cannot find any Break key. 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.
Thanks
