Switch off OVR mode

[Steve Pettitt]

Access goes into OVR (Overwrite) mode without warning. How does this happen
and how do I switch it off?

Hi, Steve.

Have you tried pressing the <INSERT> key to turn it off?

HTH.

Hi, Steve.

One more thing. Are you using SendKeys? There's a bug in it that turns the
<NUMLOCK> key off. If you were to press the <0> key on the numeric keypad,
thinking it was zero instead of <INS>, you might be toggling it to overwrite
mode yourself.
