SendKeys in an AutoExec macro

1 New Member
I used Sendkeys extensively in Access 97 to enter repetitive text into fields directly in a table. I am now using Access 2000 and none of the SendKeys macros work. I allowed Access to "convert" the mdb file and I tried re-creating the AutoExec macro from scratch. No luck. I emailed the Access 97 mdb file to a friend who has Access 2003. He allowed Access 2003 to convert the file and the SendKeys macros work perfectly. Does anyone know why they won't work in Access 2000? Perhaps I am missing an "add-in" or something? I am using Access 2000 (9.0.6926 SP-3). Any ideas?

Hi

Ask your friend to convert it to Access 2000 format (using 2003) and see if it works on your pc :)

Hope it helps

Hello, I've custom-built a fairly extensive object model that is designed to run in the background and control the opening and closing of related forms. The whole thing kicks-off with an AutoExec macro at startup, using a RunCode action that calls a global function and the rest works great. Pretty good stuff - flies like an eagle, when it works.

Hi everybody: This will be not easy to explain as my mother language is not english, so my apologies in advance if it sounds confusing. We have a database access 97 wich controls time of people in their job in order to finally know how many money costs us to run some projects. People always estimates the time when reporting and we do have the impression they really underestimate the time.

Did A97, perchance, do away with the need for an AutoExec macro to initiate an autoexec sequence for databases? Or, must we still suffer with that hideous macro?

I can't seem to get AutoExec to run a function. Per an article on this group, I: 1) built a boolean function in a module that simply issues a MsgBox, then returns True 2) in AutoExec macro, I wrote a condition "onOpen()=False" including the dbl quotes. For the action I put out another MsgBox saying 'onOp is False'. The 2nd MsgBox always appears. I put a breakpoint in the function. It never triggered, so my function is not being called.

Dear NG, Can someone assist me with writing the little code that is needed to run an update table query each time the database is opened? From what I've been able to glean from this group, the Autoexec Macro looks like the way to go. Could someone please assist? Thank you very much! Mike

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

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,...

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers.
