1) The recordsource of the grid will tell you which table is bound.
2) Why not use the keypress event of the column instead of the table? Allowing a person to 'Alt + D' without them being directly on the record in the grid is dangerous. If there are other controls on the screen and you simply allow a 'Alt + D' you are asking for trouble.

Using a keypress event while the grid has focus would at least allow the person to see exactly which record they are deleting.
