6 '69 Camaro Jan 25, 2005 #3 Hi, Steve. One more thing. Are you using SendKeys? There's a bug in it that turns the <NUMLOCK> key off. If you were to press the <0> key on the numeric keypad, thinking it was zero instead of <INS>, you might be toggling it to overwrite mode yourself. http://www.mvps.org/access/bugs/bugs0004.htm HTH.
