SendKeys in an AutoExec macro

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
