WBK,

As Scrambler pointed out to me, when Num Lock is off, for example, then the Numpad7 key actually becomes the "Home" key. Take a look at your keyboard and notice the "dual" lettering on the buttons. For example, numpad8 also has the Up Arrow inscribed on it, and Numpad1 has End inscribed on it.

As Scrambler suggested, use HOME, PageUP, etc, instead of numpad2, numpad 5 and so on. I'll have to admit, it was an eyeopener to me.

So to summarize, depending on the state of the Num Lock key (on or off), by pressing the numpad key will either issue the numeral 7 or "Home".

I learn a few new things every week. I hope this helps.

Yes, you can go ahead and uninstall FS9......as my newest issues are now with the LevelD 767 add-on package, which you don't have. I've put a message on the LevelD forum to see if I can get some help from those people. So Wild Bill, I really do appreciate your help on this issue.

Thanks,
Bill
