Default Keyboard mapping changed on Access no other applications affected

I don't know how this happened but for some reason the keyboard
mapping for Microsoft Access has switched the @ with the " key. So
when I click shft+' I get a @. I'm using the On Screen keyboard to
make sure this is the case and it is - every other application Word
and so on have the mapping in the right location. Really weird.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
Matt

I was going to suggest that perhaps you have somehow set the AutoCorrect
options under spelling to do that. However, you said it only happens in
Access and I think that all the Office applications share the same file for this.

When you type " and get @ instead have you ever immediately done an undo
(control + z or selected Undo from the menu). If so, did that revert the @ to
a quotation mark?

Other than that I am as puzzled as you.

If this is happening during data entry into a control, turn off the allow
autocorrect property on the control and see if that helps.
