Hi David,

You do not need to use the INKEY() here. The KeyPress() method of a control receives the status of Shift, Alt and Control as one parameter and the ASC value of key pressed by the user as the second parameter.

After decoding the key you could have something like...

TextBox.Value = 'SHIFT+'CHR(nKeyCode)
NODEFAULT

Put your cursor in the textbox below the "Press new shortcut key" label and then hit something like "Ctrl+Alt+D". The program records the keystroke and stuffs "CTRL+ALT+D" into the textbox.
