Hello Doug, ok, I understand. Thanks for this explanation.

So it doesn't make sense to say: If myVkCode = vk_Tab or myVkCode = 9 Then This is just like saying: If a = 3 or a = 3 Then Also, I don't know why you had the 9 in quotes. This "or" command isn't doing anything for you at all. Just go into Immed and type: print vk_tab and you'll get 9. So you can kill the or part. As for the modifiers, if you look at the KeyModifiers this simply means your numlock is on with the German keyboard and off with the English keyboard. You need to mask off this high bits of this if you aren't interested in them.
