>well what I am getting at is that when a textbox receives the focus, the users should onlt be allowed to hit enter or click on QUIT. There are other controls but if user clicks on them, trouble occurs. I'd hate to issue disables all over the place then enabled them afterwards, alot of code.

The don't put the code in the form's keypress instead put it in the textbox's keypress.
