Win10 & Office 2007 32bit

I get an on screen keyboard with Form 1 and another keyboard with Form 2

See attached pics.

You got exactly what was intended but both screenshots are for form 2

This is all I have ?

Just the standard 4 references.
Perhaps your Windows settings?

I don't get OSK appearing using the command button on the form. Must be something external to Access.
I have OSK.exe in C:\windows\system32. It opens if I double click on it. However, within Access, it does not appear visible ie

? Dir("C:\windows\system32\osk.exe") & "XXX"
XXX

or in a loop

 str = Dir("C:\windows\system32\o*.exe")
   Do While str <> ""
      Debug.Print str
      str = Dir
   Loop

I get

odbcad32.exe
odbcconf.exe
OneDriveSetup.exe
openfiles.exe
OpenWith.exe
OposHost.exe

Looks like it is a known problem with 64 bit OS arising from Windows redirection.


See here for temporarily turning off redirection

Have a look in task manager and look for the following in Apps or Background processes:
- accessibility onscreen keyboard
- touch keyboard and handwriting panel
If you find one or both items, select them and click End Task.
Then try the example app again.

I've also used this for a couple years in 64-bit Windows with 64-bit Access
If using 32-bit Access in 64-bit Windows, is there a copy of osk.exe in the Windows WOW64 folder?

The tablet keyboard is far better IMHO anyway.
