Problems with Access 2003 - Keyboard Type Ahead Buffer

The keyboard type ahead buffer does not seem to work in Access 2003 in
certain situations. We would like some help with this.

Here are the details.

We have a large program that was developed in Access 2000. We are now
converting it to Access 2003.

The program has a form for entering orders. Each order usually consists
of dozens of items. To enter the items on the order the entry person
only enters the quantity and a 4-digit number that corresponds to the
product. The entry people use the number pad and are very fast.

The entry form does some validation behind the scenes which does not
take long, but the entry person can go faster than the code in the
form. In Access 2000 this was not a problem because when the entry
person got ahead of the form the keystrokes were saved in a buffer and
when they finished typing the entire order it would take just a second
or two for the program to catch up.

However, in Access 2003 we are having problems because the keystrokes
are not saved in the buffer. They are lost. Therefore, wrong quantities
get entered and wrong products are selected. As a result the order
entry people have had to really slow down which may cause the need for
some overtime work.

The program uses an MS Access "Project" (*.ADP and *.ADE) and links to
a SQL Server 2000 database. Any ideas you have as to what causes this
and what can be done to fix it will be appreciated. Is there perhaps
some new security feature of Access 2003 that does not allow keystrokes
to be saved in a buffer?

Thanks....

Helpful folks, Most of my previous experience with DB2 was on s390 mainframe systems and the optimizer on this platform always seemed very predictable and consistent. Since moving to a WinNT/UDB 7.2 environment, the choices the optimizer makes often seem flaky. But this last example really floored me. I was hoping someone could explain why I get worse response time when the optimizer uses two indexes, than when it uses one. Some context:

Hi, I want to capture a signal from the sound card (via microphone or line input) using the DirectX.Sound.CaptureBuffer class. One of the properties that can be setup prior to capturing is specifying that the buffer is continous. This means that once the buffer is filled with data, it wraps around and continues filling the buffer. Where I see a potential problem has to do with the sampling speed of the sound card against the speed of...

I'm porting over an application that runs on an AS/400 over to asp.net. One of the features my users like is to be able to start typing before the screen is loaded. (this is a 5250 emulator, not IE). In some cases they are able to pass through several screens before they even load. For example, in an order entry screen, they could go past the 'customer name' screen, then 'shipping info' screen, then 'billing info' screen to end up at...

Hi, I am coding a Windows Form Application in VB.NET 2008. I would like to clear the keyboard buffer or at least empty all outstanding key presses queued up for my application at certain points in my program. I looked at System.Console.Read, but that doesn't seems appropriate. I also looked into EnableWindow Lib "user32". I ran into a problem where I could disable the form, but was unable to enable the form. The code is:

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
