[AccessD] autokeys macros

[Stuart McLachlan]

OK, a misunderstanding.

When you said: "Can someone test running an autokeys macro in 2010 or later from inside of
a module?

You actually meant " Can someone test running an autokeys macro in 2010 or 
later from inside the VBE?

As I recall, it was Access 95 that replaced Access Basic with VBA and introduced the 
separate  VBE .
