As a first solution I was hoping to find a keyboarding slight of hand or an alternative key binding. The problem with the sticky key solution is that it affects all keys and I am only having a problem with one key combination at the moment. But I haven't thrown out stickkeys as a solution if I can't find something else. -- Regards Bill
