I'm running Windows 10 and I'm using an Access database originally created several years ago. The database is in Access 2000 File Format (i.e. with a .mdb extension).
For debugging purposes, I've set up a breakpoint in some VBA code. However when I'm trying to step through the code, pressing the function key F8 and its various combinations with the Shift and Ctrl keys doesn't work. Instead of stepping to the next line, I'm getting a screen displayed that is nothing to do with Access but some kind of hardware-related screen management function. To step through the code, I'm having to use the drop-down options on the Debug menu, which is obviously much more time-consuming.
I have a feeling this function key issue might be because I'm using an old Access file format. I suppose I could convert the database up to the current format, but that might cause some other unforeseen issues in the application. Is there any way I can recover the use of the function keys without converting the database?
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
