Ctrl-Break

MS Access uses Ctrl-Break to stop the formatting on long reports.  Where can I find the break key on the dv7-6b75nr laptop computer?

Re: Ctrl-Break

My knowledge is not so good on these products. If I remember correctly, there is no Pause/Break single key on this DV7-6 series product. These are two different functional keys.

 

To my knowledge, Pause is a combination with right SHIFT key and Break is a combination with ESC key. To use the pause key, it is the combination of Fn & right SHIFT key.

 

I have not tested but to use Pause/Break key, customer should be pressing CTRL+ALT+ESC+Fn+Right SHIFT keys.

 

Instead you can use On Screen Keyboard (osk.exe).

 

You can simplify your needs using third party utilities like the following:

Re: Ctrl-Break

I tried all your suggestions and none of them worked.  It is true that pause is located on the right shift key, but break is on no key.

 

I tried SharpKeys as that sounded ike the best idea and discovered there is no break listed.  Furthermore, there is no way to add two keys together as in Ctrl-Break.

 

Any other ideas?
