pause/break on dell latitude laptop

The keyboard that came with my Dell 2320 does not have a Pause/Break key. I need to use Ctrl-Break for debugging VBA code.

Note: The Dell 2320 is not a laptop. It is an All-In-One desktop PC with a wireless USB keyboard.

I found the following at:

//en.community.dell.com/suppor

but my registry does not show a Scancode Map under Keyboard Layout so I cant edit the values:

2] Explore the Registry, expanding each element HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE -SYSTEM -Current Control Set - Control - Keyboard Layout Click on the Scancode Map, and EDIT the key values to match that shown below. i.e. to have values of : 00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,02,00,00,00,46,e0,44,00,00,00,00,00 Once Done you will need to re-boot your laptop, but after that you can use as the pause/Break Key.

Any idea how to program a substitute Ctrl-Break sequence that VBA will recognize?

Thanks!

Thanks for all the suggestions. Ive solved the issue.

This site does a great job of explaining scancode sequences and escape sequences and how the Ctrl key works. It even included the Scancode for: e0 46

//www.win.tue.nl/~aeb/linux/kb

With this Scancode Map value, F12 [with or without the Ctrl key] sends a:

00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,02,00,00,00,58,e0,46,00,00,00,00,00

Thanks again.
