AutoKeys macro and send keys syntax

[Piers 2k]

Hi folks,

Creating autokeys macro for global key assignments.

Can create Ctrl + P by entering ^p in name column - OK.
Can create Shft + L by entering +l as well - OK.

The manual I've got also says that the % symbol can be used for the Alt key
on the keyboard (such as Alt + a - %a), although when I try it I get a
syntax error. Access help doesn't mention anything about the Alt key.

Anyone come across this?

Thankx in advance,

Piers

Piers,

Alt is not an available option for any SendKeys key combination.
