AutoKeys macro stopped working on conversion

I recently bit the bullet and converted an Access 97
database app to Access 2000. My AutoKeys macro appeared to
convert correctly, and returns no errors when I run it.
however, the commands I place there don't seem to work.
Example, I have {F12} set to SendKeys ^{tab}, no waiting. ^
{tab} works on its own, but when I press F12 nothing
happens. Ideas?

Recreating the macro seems to work here, so you might want to simply do the
same.
 
Thanks Bruce... but I tried this as well, with no success.
I've even tried just creating a generic macro with other
SendKeys actions (and run them. None of them work, and no
error messages. Any other suggestions?
 
Setting Wait to 'yes' didn't appear to work, either.
however, I did note that now, the first time I press a key
defined in Autokeys, a message appears at the bottom of
the app window stating 'loading wizards'. The progress bar
moves slightly but never completes (I let it go for almost
2 minutes). If I press another key, the message goes away.
however, it may still be trying to load the wizard, as the
one thing I cannot do is close Access. Is there a wizard
associated with SendKeys or AutoKeys?? I didn't think
there was, but I could (obviously) be mistaken.

Thanks again for the assistance.

(Sorry--- don't do much discussion group posting...
hopefully you/everyone can follow)

Make *sure* there is no error in your Sendkeys string. If there is no error, you
should consider using code instead of macros (*lose* "SendKeys" and implement a
more direct method of performing the task). With code you have the ability to
trap errors where in macros you don't.
