A97 Numlock Issues on Network

[Guest]

I am using Access 97 on a network, should anyone hit his num lock key, it
toggles everyones numlock key inside access. This effect would cause
someone else to hit thier numlock key which then toggles everyone
again.....HELP

All I want to do is have everyone's Num Lock key on universally and stop all
the whinning and screwed up data from page ups, downs.....Thanks

Without testing, I find it hard to follow that a user pressing their NumLock
alters the NumLock on other computers.

There is a bug in Access where SendKeys toggles the state of NumLock. Are
you sure you are not seeing the side effects of this bug? If that's what is
going on, split the database so that everyone has their own copy of the
front end. More information:
