AutoKeys Macro Problem

[MatthewR]

Hi, all. I'm trying use a macro to set AutoKeys for my database. I created submacros for a handful of AutoKeys without any problem. These include AutoKeys like ^{F11},^g, and +{F4}.

However, many AutoKeys I tried to enter do not work- Access gives me an error message when I try to save the submacros. The message says "The key or key combination in AutoKeys has invalid syntax and is not allowed." A list of AutoKeys that prompt this error message is below. What am I doing wrong? Thanks for your help! -Matt

AutoKeys that Prompt Error Message:
%{F11}
%{F4}
%(fe)
^{DOWN}
^{END}
^{HOME}
^{LEFT}
^{PGDN}
^{PGUP}
^{RIGHT}
^{TAB}
^+{TAB}
{PGDN}
{PGUP}
^{‘}


^{+}
^{,}
^{-}
^ {.}
^{_}
+{~}
+{ENTER}

Haven't looked. but are those key combinations reserved? Alt F11 is.

Hi, thanks for the reply.

Yeah, they're reserved, but the ones that worked are reserved as well. So, I don't think that's the issue.

What I'm trying to do is disable certain hotkeys- that's why they're all hotkeys that already exist in Access.

Okay, I think I see the issue. There's only certain types of keys that you can use as AutoKeys: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/106183

I'll have to try another way to do what I want to do.
