[AccessD] autokeys macros

[Jim Dettman]

 That's because they switched from Access Basic to VBA, starting with A95.

yes but you are doing that from a button.  I am trying to trigger the macro
when a vb editor module is open and you are looking at it.

It appears that this hasn't functioned at any point after Access 97.  It
seems they carved the editor out of access and made it standalone and thus
broke this functionality.
IOW the autokeys macro is in the database now, not visible in the editor.

Sigh.
