Microsoft Keyboard - "F Lock"

I have an Access Database that using Function keys for Commands and
Navigation through tabs... This has been working great, but unfortunately I
am running into more and more support calls about keys not working
correctly. On closer inspection it is only customers that have Microsoft
Keyboards and not having F Lock on.

I personally use a Wireless Desktop Elite Keyboard but as a habit when the
computer boots I hit the F Lock. Unfortunately customers aren't as easily
trained.

Is it possible using say API's to:

a) check the status of the F Lock
b) trigger the F Lock on a Microsoft Keyboard

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated, from what i can see when the F
Lock is off it doesn't even trigger the key events of access.

Kind Regards,
