autokeys-non English (2K)

I wrote a database in XP access to be used in 2K.
I wrote an autokeys macro. When I moved it to a Win 98 machine with Access 2K running Hebrew windows, it all worked aside from the autokey macro. I found on the Web (http://hrztrmserv1a.hrz.uni-essen.de/technet/DVD/Service Packs (September 2002)/ol2000/PFILES/MSOFFICE/OFFICE/ACREAD9.TXT) an article about this problem in Portugese.
Any ideas?
Thanks

When you change to Hebrew Windows, the keyboard gets reinterpreted. That means that the AutoKeys macro you set up won’t apply to the same keys. You would need to rebuilt the autokeys macro for the Hebrew version or create a second one for that version. You could use VBA to determine the regional settings and run the correct macro in the startup code for your application.
