hi
same issue
i got round it very inelegantly with:
setting up a command button
setting the accelerator to the key i wanted to use

the computer can still pick up these keypresses ie alt+k, when it seems to be blind to application.onkey "k","proc"

very irritating. i then set sticky keys on and pressed alt x2, to remove the need to keep pressing alt key with my short cut keys.

i tried putting :Application.SendKeys ("^{break}")
within the infinite loop, but this didnt work for me

any thoughts?
