It works when F9 is press. Its when you hit F10 that it happens. I tried NODEFAULT but the text is wiped out before the the command is even hit in the case statement. (See also my reply just now to Borislav.)

>>We use command buttons on all our forms. The keypreview is turned on in the forms and there is a case statement in the form keypress that looks for any hot keys used in the command buttons and if one is hit then a procedure or whatever is run from the case statement. This has worked really well for us for a number of years.
