>>For about 20 years we have used the F10 key as the Save Data key in all our programs. When VFP came along the F10 was used by windows as the menu key. We got around that by:

ON KEY LABEL F10 KEYBOARD '{F9}'

and that has worked fine for almost 10 years. Now we have a new problem. I found that if a window is Modeless that hitting the F10 key wipes out any data entered in the current text box, edit box, etc.

This is a big problem for us because there are hundreds of users around the country that will be screaming at us if we change the save key from F10 to say F9 which is the only thing that we can come up with.

Tamar,
I tried your idea with the breakpoint but in this case it will not work because each time I type something into the edit box the value changes, the breakpoint fires, the edit box loses focus and the data is written to the cursor.
I tried a wait window with the value in both the Valid and LostFocus and it is empty in both of them after the F10. I can only assume that something in the system is the culprit so we are going to change the save to F9.
Thanks for help.
