This presented some interesting ideas but I was unable to get it to respond to Ctrl+D in the keypress event (Alt+anything being listed as forbiden in the help text I used Ctrl+D instead). I am unsure what your

coding is for but if you used this code in another method / location please let me know.

Thanks again for the very prompt help.
