This sounds like it's outside excel.

Guess#1:
In win98, I can do:
windows start button|settings|Control panel|accessibility options.

There's nothing like this setting in win98, but maybe something was added in
your version of windows.

Guess#2:
Do you have any third party software that's helping? Maybe hitting alt-ctrl
delete to see what's running will spark your memory.

Guess#3:
Some keyboards are programmable. (Gateway, for example.) Maybe you have that
programmed into the keyboard?

Randy,

I have an unrelated problem with my right shift key. Whenever I press it, the page switches to, apparently, my set home page. I've tried to find what I have done to make this hapen but haven't found it yet. You see, I am physically impaired, in a wheelchair ten years, and what is happening looks very much like some of the things you can do with the disabilities features in Windows. Help?

The only way I know is by physically removing the shift keys from the users' keyboards.

Does anyone know a way to disable the shift during my initial process
or perhaps there is a way to flag when the workbook is opened with a
shift key held?

Edwin is probably correct that you can't, and shouldn't, be able to keep
users from blocking auto-open macros. But you can "flag when the workbook
is opened with the shift key held": have the flag set, and clear it in the
Auto_Open (Workbook_Open) Sub. If it doesn't get cleared, your Open routine
didn't run.

It's not really secure, of course; but it's better than nothing.
