Surface keyboard button on full screen...

[MackMan]

Hi all.

Test rolling out a database on mobile devices (namely Surfaces').

To get that 'tablet' effect, Access is running on full screen.
Anyway, one problem I've stumbled across Is... without a detachable keyboard, there's no way to get access to the keyboard button in the taskbar of windows.

Does anyone know if there is any code I use to access this from Access...

As in, if running on a surface, show keyboard button (If that's even possible?)

looks like there are lots of options depending the operating system (Win 7/8/10 32/64bit) but basically seems to be around invoking OSK

See this link as an example

but google 'vba show touch keyboard' or similar to find plenty more

I guess knowing what to find helps in the first instance. This is exactly what I was looking for! Thanks CJ. perfect.
