You sure you don't have one of those keyboards with the F-Lock key?

Hard to envision that all your Fn keys would be disabled by Excel.

Check out the F-Lock annoyance that Gord describes. On these keyboards, the
F keys by default don't do what you think they should. Another brilliant
advance in the science of usability.

If that isn't it, then in Excel, press Alt+F11 to open the VB Editor. Then
press Ctrl+G to open the Immediate Window. Type this line in the Immediate
Window and press Enter:

Application.OnKey "{F1}"

Go to Excel and see if F1 does anything. If it's fixed, go back to the VB
Editor and repeat the above for F2 through F12.

Thanks for your help. However I still havent solved the issue. I can open
the VBA interface and the immediate window and have typed the code, but it
doesnt seem to help ? Im using Excel 2007 version.

Im using a docking station for a laptop, but with an additional Logitech
keyboard. The Fn key is on the laptop but I cant find it on the Logitech
keyboard. Weird thing is that F keys works normally when using the laptop
keyboard, but not when using the Logitech?
