Ctrl Break not working anymore?

[Kowalski]

Hi
When I receive an error in Access and I press Ctrl Break, it does not goto my code (it used to work, but not anymore).
Ctrl Break still works to halt query execution.
I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling Access.
I do have read, design and admin permissions on the form.
My error trapping is set on 'Break in Class Modules'.

What can be wrong?
Thanks

depends what happens when you get the error maybe - are you using error handlers?

if not, and you click end, then you may stop the code, in which case there is nothing to break now

Yes, I am using error handlers. If I remove the error handler then the message with the 'Debug' button comes up and the code opens.
But with the error handler, I show a Abort, Retry, Ignore message box, and Ctrl-Break doesn't do anything there anymore. Did work a week or 2 ago...
Thanks for reply.

Did you happen to uncheck the box USE ACCESS SPECIAL KEYS in the startup options? Unchecking that box will cause the behavior you are seeing.

Hi
Nope, sorry. The option is unchecked, and Ctrl-Break is still not working.

It needs to be CHECKED not Unchecked.

Oops, apologies.
Did try it now, checked and unchecked. Not working.
(Its possible to switch the error handlers off and then its fine, so its not a train smash.)
