I think you're being a bit hard here TF. This poster is obviously confused
and distressed and perhaps a few allowances can be made. But I agree with
you that services on the NG from experts like yourself are very valuable to
the user. A darned sight better than the so called 'help' centres in the
Philippines or India!

You are trying to do something that you cannot do. You came here for help
and you have been given EXPERT help in very simple terms. You still cannot
do it. You received $500 consultancy for free and now you are criticising.
I suggest that you apologise for outright effrontery.

Hi Tom,
I'm sorry, but I still don't understand you.
In that case, I think it would be best if you do NOT try to
reprogram the F1 key. When you poke that deeply into things
that aren't meant to be changed, you have to understand
what you're doing, and how to correct any problems that
might crop up. F1 is dedicated across all Windows apps to
calling up Help, which is why it's locked down so tightly.
After reading your lecture above, and given the presence of "newusers" in
this group's title, I am left wondering why you bothered replying in the
first place. If F1 is locked down so securely, then why not just say "you
can't do that unless you know VBA" and left it at that?
I cheerfully admit that I am not a programmer, but my original question
was
a simple one, and if you weren't prepared to provide this "new user" with
meaningful assistance, then why even bother to reply?
Leaving someone with the impression that they're an idiot leaves me
fervently hoping that you are not in HR... :-)
Tom
