There is something unique about the option to enable hotkeys in doc/console windows. Disable that, and F12 will work. (ppro configure | Key/Mouse tab | Setup button | Uncheck "Recognize keyboard hot keys when dos console window is active" ) Alan, under the help section: Hot key and mouse "Setup" dialog Can you add to this paragraph: You can specify that PowerPro should recognize keyboard hotkeys entered when a Dos or console window is active, except for tap keys and *Macro keys. Gray check if you find slow performance with *Keys commands; however, if you gray check you may have problems if you send hot key characters with *Keys. -------------- Here was a message from bruce 3/19/04: "This is a Windows restriction when PowerPro uses the built-in RegisterHOtKey function. You can have PowerPro use a different approach by unchecking "hot keys should still work when console window active" on keys|setup, but then of course hot keys will not work when console window is active. I'll add this to help. Here is MS verbiage: Windows NT4 and Windows 2000/XP: The F12 key is reserved for use by the debugger at all times, so it should not be registered as a hot key. Even when you are not debugging an application, F12 is reserved in case a kernel-mode debugger or a just-in-time debugger is resident." David Troesch | Atlanta, GA | ICQ# 2333123 Free Antivirus?
