Hi Mark, Yes, I will keep this thread! :-) on this page: http://choorucode.com/2010/11/28/ctrl-break-on-dell-vostro-3300-laptop/ I found the advice to use CTRL+FN+NUMLOCK as CTRL+BREAK. The explanation is that the key combo is CTRL+FN+SCROLL-LOCK, and that SCROLL-LOCK and NUMLOCK share the same key. So, I'm going to put both of these tidbits of information in my "how to" book for future reference, and I'll let you know how well this worked the next time I need to interrupt a tediously long or infinitely looping query.
