Hmmm....I just tried this with:
ON KEY LABEL ALT+D KEYBOARD DTOC(DATE()) in the Init of the form. When I pressed ALT+D in an EditBox it worked fine....
>I have an application that requires the ability to insert today's date into a memo field edit object by the use of a hot key.
>
>The end user is editing a memo field using an edit object on a form. During the session he wishes to insert today's date by hitting ALT+D. I tried to use the ON KEY LABEL ALT+D syntax and stuffed the keyboard with today's date but nothing happens. The stuff program gets executed, the date gets setup correctly, it accepts the date to the KEYBOARD command but nothing appears in the memo/edit object.
