Re: Keyboard Buffering

[Jeff Young <cooljeff913@xxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks Louis,
I am using Client Access.
What I was hoping to find was a way for the program to control settingÂkeyboard buffering on and off/
I do not wantÂto have to have the user go through the steps to do it. That opens too large a can of worms. :)

Thanks,

Jeff,

If using something like Client Access, maybe you could record a macro in
order to set on/off the keyboard buffering...
