Solution for : Access97 SendKeys command disables Numlock....

[George]

Every time I used the Sendkeys command in my application the "Numlock"
turned off and I couldn't use the keypad to hit numbers......

The old code was:
Private Sub Command1_Click()
SendKeys "{DOWN}"
SendKeys "^{END}"
SendKeys "{TAB}"
End Sub

So.....I decided to do the following:

Private Sub Command1_Click()
SendKeys "{DOWN}"
SendKeys "^{END}"
SendKeys "{TAB}", True 'keystrokes must be processed before
control is
'returned to the procedure.

SendKeys Chr$(144) 'Turn the "NUmlock" ON again
End Sub

I know that I have to avoid the Sendkeys statement but if there is no
other way.....this solution should help....
