    On Key Down Function

    Are you expecting that they be pressing the enter key after entering data in each field or after they have entered data in every field? I've found that many users are not accustomed to using the TAB key to move between fields. They end up pressing enter.

    chr and chrW$

    See this article from Microsoft about the difference between Chr and ChrW: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/vblr7/html/vafctChr.asp It seems that ChrW is not dependent on code page settings and Chr is dependent on them.

    Reverse Engineer MS Access DB with VISIO (DSN Issue)

    Figured it out. Visio does not use file DSNs -- only User or System DSNs. These can be created through Control Panel --> Administrative Tools --> Data Sources (ODBC).
