I have been using an Autokeys macro to turn off the Hourglass and
return the Echo while writing an Access application. It was working
well but I haven’t needed to use it for a while …I commented the
existing code and decided not to include any more until the
application was finished.
I am now ready to re-activate the (Echo = false, Hourglass = true)
throughout my VBA code but if I have mucked up anywhere and not
returned to (Echo = true, Hourglass = false) and needed to use my
Autokey macro it has failed.
The contents of the macro is as follows:
Macro Name…………….Action………………Arguments
^{Delete}
…………………………………Echo…………………Echo On: Yes
…………………………………Hourglass………..Hourglass On: No
I probably wrote this macro originally when I was working with
Access97 but have since upgraded to Access 2000…is this the cause of
the problem. Can some clever person point me in the right direction
before I lose what little remains of my sanity.
…I have now created two new databases one in Access 97 and one in Access 2k, both contain an autokeys macro only.
