• JoeA (2/6/2009)Is it possible that your Ctrl+Shift+M is being caught by another program?

    I had this issue with a similar key sequence where an HP diagnostic (or update manager?) was catching them as a hot key - never made it down into the window that had actual focus.

    I was able to override that sequence in the diagnostic S/W that was catching it.

    Happened on a different machine than the one I'm typing into, so I don't have exact details.

    was that aimed at me?

    I believe it was aimed at me - for some reason Ctrl-Shift-M doesn't work for on my SSMS 2008 (though it was fine on 2005).

    Something intercepting it sounds pretty plausible - will investigate.

    Cheers,

    Ian
