>Here's an example that traps the Alt-F combo (which normaly brings up the File menu). When textbox1 has focus, the key is trapped and it's background is changed to red. When it loses focus, the Alt-F resumes it's normal behavior. This should work for Ctrl combinations as well.

Thanks Ken... but I was trying to get away from the ON KEY's (that we have now) and go to a more OOP approach. I was tired of PUSHing and POPping keys, etc.

I think we have found a more KISS approach and we are implementing it now. Using a menu item to capture our desired key press combination seems to work, and is easier to maintain.

Thanks again,
Wayne
