Loren,
Are you sure you are using the "Owners" key and not the "Valet" key.
Only the Owners key will unlock the trunk and glove box.
Try the key in the glove box to make sure it will Lock & Unlock it.

I thought the key lock overrides the vacuum lock. I will try starting
the car. the vacuum locks work, so if vacuum overrides air, that will
unlock the trunk, but I am skeptical. I know on the 107, the key
overrides vacuum

Remove the rear seat, find the vacuum lines that go into the trunk and
mitivac each one until the lock unlocks. Onee locks and one unlocks.

240D (123) has been sitting in a building for almost a year. I tried to
unlock the trunk, and the key won't go in all the way. It goes in
1/2-3/4
of the way. I tried spraying in the lock with PB, but that didn't
seem to
make any difference. I could insert a 3/32 drill rod all the way and I
could insert a metal wiper reinforcement (about 1/8" wide) all the way.
First I thought an element was stuck, but later thought something was
stuck inside the lock. After getting the drill rod and flat metal in, I
am back to thinking something is stuck.
I figured that I would let the PB soak for a while and see what
happens.
The trunk was locked with the key when it was parked.
I don't think there is any way into the trunk without getting the
lock to
work, other than as a last resort, drilling out the lock. Is that
correct?
Yes, it is the right key, it works in the ign and in the doors. Thanks
