I am having the same issue. I used to be able to type the %$F# in the code for the mapkey in options, but now that doesn't seem to work. There must be another way.

Hi Dustin & John,

We are skipping WF5, so I can't test it right now, but you might try the following to see if it will tell you what is happening.

Record a new mapkey, and during that operation, execute an existing mapkey (e.g., by keyboard shortcut), and then save the

recorded mapkey. Then open it up in a text editor, and see how it shows the portion where you executed the existing mapkey.

(Is it doing something different that putting a % in front of it?)

Regards,

Terry

I had tried this before, but pushing the F# buttons do not accomplish anything during the record and doesn't show in the resultant code. I then considered using command buttons to define the mapkey with record. Turns out that this does work, and generates this line for the mapkey: $F5 ~ Activate `main_dlg_cur` `$F2.dtDtmD`;;~ Activate `main_dlg_cur` `$F4.dtDtmD`;

This mapkey F5 only runs 2 other mapkeys (F2 and F4). I think one would need to have the commands in your control panel for this to work, but it does legitimize the mapkey.
