Num Lock turns off ??

[Gina Maylone]

Good morning all!

I have kind of a weird question, does anyone have a clue what Access or VB function might shut off the num lock key? Most of my dbs it doesn't happen on, occasionally I run across one that does. I haven't been able to trace it to anything in particular - I just notice it when I can't enter a number and think my control is broken!



Just thought I'd throw it out there in case it has happened to anyone else.

Thanks and have a beautiful day!
Gina

It is known that SendKeys can turn off num lock. I had it happen in an app. Users complained that their num lock would get turned off. I found that the original developer used SendKeys, and taking it out fixed the issue.

A Paul posited out, SendKey() will definitely is known to do it.
