I'd suggest you check in Control Panel | Keyboard | Key Settings, to see
if you have set a response for this combination. I have a thoroughly up
to date Win XP SP3 system (recently updated from SP2) and my SHFT-F7 and
the other combinations all work for DP, WP, etc. I doubt the problem is
tied to the newness of the system, unless its default keyboards come
with some special setting for SHFT-F7

**I have a serious problem with the SHIFT-F7 key command when running
DP on newer WIN-XP systems.: **

* **I can run DP either as stand alone or under SHELL. I can also
navigate around in the panels. The big problem is that I cannot
use the SHFT-F7 key combination for accessing the reports. If I
do this, I instead get a character in the field I am located in,
either a line drawing character or something else. I can use the
F7 and also the ALT-F7 but not SHIFT-F7.**
* **If, on the same system, I go into WP, I get excatly the same
character when pressing SHFT-F7 (but can again use pure F7 and
the other F7 combinations). At least on the system I am wriging
on here, the character is the “Dos linedrawing upper right
corner” character**
* **This problem occurs almost always when I now install DP on a
newer XP system. On two older systems, installed around
2003-2005 this problem does not occur.**
* **I have tried having both my Danish keyboard active or the US
one but to no avail.**
* **I have also manipulated a lot in the setting menu for the
shortcut that starts the DP (or SHELL) exe (screen, memory etc).
On one 2005 vintage system, where I also had the problem, one
such setting change seemed to work – and I wrote it down,, but
this does not work on my newer ones. **
* **The problem occurs both if I start DP with a shortcut or if I
go to the command line window (“dos”) and start DP from the
command line. **
* **What can be the cause of the problem and is there a work
around. It seems that the system, when in DP or WP,
intercepts/interprets the SHFT-F7 command as something else.
Again, even if I remove the Danish keyboard option and run pure
UK/US keyboard, the problem is the same.**

**Any solutions? I’d be obliged! This forces me to use my old PC as
the only one for DP which is exasperating**
