    You need to use the normal (left-hand) Alt key and the numeric keypad instead of Alt Gr.

    Can't help you with the other one I'm afraid, I've never used a US keyboard.

    Alt+0163=£

    Or use the Character Map

    The "\" key on an american keyboard is between the "Backspace" key and the "Enter" key.

    Thanx to everyone who replied it has helped a lot.

    DuaneB - I have a american keyboard but i wanted to use the british keyboard driver. but cant seem to find the \ key anywhere.

    Character map was out of the question as it is really too much hassle.

    thax again mike.
