Keyboard Language

[Steve]

I use a modified keyboard layout for another language, when I use
KeyboardLanguage=? access automatically reverts back to the default keyboard
for that language. Does anyone know of a way to keep this from happening?

Hi Steve,

Access help states:

.... If the operation fails (most likely because the requested keyboard
language is not available on the developer/user system), the active keyboard
language is not changed. For more sophisticated error handling, refer to the
discussion of the Visual Basic for Applications KeyboardLanguage property.
See how to set the KeyboardLanguage property for a control.

I think that the question mark is not a valid keyboard language.

I probably confused the issue with the question mark.
I am using the RU id wich is 27 if I remember right. I have a modified
Keyboard layout that I prefer because it is phonetically closer to the
English keyboard. So I set up my RU using the language bar settings and add
my modified layout to that language. I then programatically set up a textbox
in my MS Access form to switch to RU when I enter that textbox. This is where
it goes bad. Instead of switching to RU and keeping my keyboard layout, it
adds the default keyboar layout to the list. Now when I go back into that
textbox it is a toss up as to which layout it is going to switch to.
