Is an autokeys macro safe to use in a runtime app?

I have an autokeys macro that does 2 things only.
It disables CTL + any function key
It disables SHIFT + any function key

I am very aware of the problems of using macros with a rutime app.

I have used this autokeys macro in my app and tested it starting the app
with the runtime switch. I have not found any problems so far.

Are there any MVP's or other seasoned developers who have successfully used
such an autokeys macro with a runtime app? If not could you comment on any
problems you encountered. The work around with keydown events on every form
is a lot of work.

Thanks Nugimac

The worst problem with macros is that you can't trap and handle errors. That
doesn't seem to be a problem with AutoKeys. I haven't used it in a runtime,
but you are correct that the VBA code alternative is not desirable.

Unless you get some feedback that concerns you, I'd suggest you go ahead and
use AutoKeys.
