      Isn't that the same as pressing the key left of the right Ctrl key? Regards, Alvaro

        :rolleyes: I just got off the phone with my client trying to get him to right click on the caption bar of a query to go into SQL design mode. Took about 10 minutes! Marc Help! I'm an AI running around in someone's f*cked up universe simulator.

        Jeez, if the only way you can get a query to go into SQL design mode is by right-clicking on the caption bar, I don't think it's only the user's fault!

          Yes, it is sometimes hard to remember "in the heat of battle" while talking to a user who shouldn't be within 10 feet of one. shift+F10 is a good second weapon. Example: "Since your too stupid to use your mouse, just put the arrow over blah blah and press shift and F10 at the same time" :-D:-D Later,

                      OK, there's the menu too. I just figured the popup menu would be faster. I was wrong! Marc Help! I'm an AI running around in someone's f*cked up universe simulator.
